Hot Rolled Carbon Steel Plate Mild Steel Plate A36 ASTM A572 Grade 42 S275

Grades
Carbon steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, often with other elements in small percentages that affect the properties of the final product.
A few of the most common grades of steel plates and sheets are:
A36 - a low carbon steel with good strength, formability that can be securely welded with a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI
A572-50 - higher strength steel with a minimum yield of 50,000 PSI and increased corrosion resistance
A516-70 - steel with a minimum tensile strength of 70,000 PSI that is generally used in pressure vessels and boilers
AR400 - abrasion resistant, quenched and tempered alloy steel with a high level of hardness, making it brittle and so it is not intended for structural applications
A588 - also known as Corten, this steel weathers well, forming a stable rust-like appearance that eliminates the need for painting
A1011 - a hot-rolled carbon steel alloy primarily used for sheets with high strength and formability
There are many other grades of steel plates and sheets with specialized properties. If you need it, we can get it!
Yield strength is the amount of force that can be withstood before permanent deformation. Tensile strength is the amount of force required to pull something (like a sheet of steel) to the point where it breaks.
