ASTM SA-36

Grade Introduction:

ASTM  SA-36 is the most commonly used mild and hot-rolled steel. It has excellent welding properties and is suitable for grinding, punching, tapping, drilling, and machining processes. The yield strength of ASTM  SA36 is less than that of cold roll C1018, thus enabling ASTM  SA36 to bend more readily than C1018. Normally, larger diameters in ASTM  SA36 are not produced since C1018 hot roll rounds are used.

Grade Application:

ASTM  SA36 steel has the following applications:

• It is used in bolted, riveted or welded construction of bridges, buildings and oil rigs.

• It is used in forming tanks, bins, bearing plates, fixtures, rings, templates, jigs, sprockets, cams, gears, base plates, forgings, ornamental works, stakes, brackets, automotive and agricultural equipment, frames, machinery parts.

• It is used for various parts obtained by flame cutting such as in parking garages, walkways, boat landing ramps and trenches.

Hardness:

119 – 159

Heat treatment:

1614°C – 1599°C

Hardening:

Hardening at 788°C – 816°C(1450°F-1500°F)

Tempering:

A36 is low carbon steel, it is not suited for heat treatment. So can’t harden. If need hardening, heat to 880-910°C, then quenching in water and temper.

Physical Properties:

Physical Properties	Metric	Imperial
Density	7.85 g/cm3	0.284 lb/in3

Thermal Properties:

Thermal Conductivity, W/m-K   –   50 – 42

Thermal Expansion, µm/m-K   –  11 to 13

Forging Properties:

Preheat slowly, then increase the temperature more rapidly to forging temperature. Then cool slowly

Stress Reliving:

Stress relieving at 677°C – 927°C(1250°F-1700°F)

Normalizing:

Normalizing at 899°C – 954°C (1650°F-1750°F)

Annealing:

Annealing at 843°C – 871°C(1550°F-1600°F)

Density:

Density

7.85 g/cm3

0.284 lb/in3

Machinability:

The machinability rate of ASTM  SA36 is estimated to be 72%, and the average surface cutting feed of ASTM  SA36 is 120 ft/min. Machining of ASTM  SA36 steel is not as easy as that of AISI 1018 steel.

Welding:

ASTM  SA36 steel is easy to weld using any type of welding method, and the welds and joints so formed are of excellent quality.
