ASTM A36 hot rolled steel material has a yield strength of 36,000 psi and an allowable bending stress of 22,000 psi. The ASTM A36 hot rolled steel material properties allow it to deform steadily as stress is increased beyond its yield strength. The ductility allows buildings to stand long after the limits of a structure have been met in an emergency, allowing the inhabitants to exit safely before collapse. Other high-performance steels, such as bridge strand, are extremely strong but brittle, and there is minimum deformation before the bridge strand breaks violently.
With a tensile yield strength of 36,300 psi and an ultimate tensile strength that ranges from 58,000 to 80,000 psi, ASTM A36 hot rolled steel material combines strength with flexibility. ASTM A36 hot rolled steel material can maintain its strength at temperatures ranging up to 650°F. ASTM A36 hot rolled steel material is excellent for welding and produces high quality welded joints. While A36 steel is a strong material, it is more easily bent than materials such as C1018 steel, as it has less yield strength.
The flexibility and strength makes A36 hot rolled steel material suitable for a full variety of applications, including fixtures, rings, forming tanks, bearing plates, cams, and gears, etc.
