Sri Sakthi Steels

A36 steel plate has a minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi (250 MPa) and an ultimate tensile strength of 58,000-80,000 psi (400-550 MPa), with an elongation at break of at least 20-23% depending on thickness. Other properties include a 200 GPa (29,000 ksi) modulus of elasticity, good weldability and machinability, and an average Brinell hardness of 119-159.
 Key Mechanical Properties 

• Yield Strength: 36,000 psi (250 MPa) minimum
• Tensile Strength: 58,000 - 80,000 psi (400-550 MPa)
• Elongation at Break: Minimum 20% in 8 inches (200mm) or 23% in 2 inches (50mm)
• Modulus of Elasticity: 29,000 ksi (200 GPa)
• Hardness: Typically 119-159 Brinell (BHN)

Other Key Properties

• Weldability: Excellent, making it suitable for structural applications like bridges and buildings. 
• Machinability: Good, easy to grind, drill, and machine. 
• Formability: Easy to bend and shape. 
• Corrosion Resistance: Low, and generally requires coating or painting for enhanced protection in harsh environments.
