A36 is the most common type of steel plate used in construction because of its ratio of strength to ductility, but it shows up in a wide range of industries due to its broad versatility. This grade is easily machined, welded, and formed, making it a versatile all-purpose steel. It is fairly ductile and can elongate to about 20% of its original length when testing its tensile strength. The combination of strength and ductility means it has excellent impact strength at room temperature. Because of its low carbon content, it can be heat treated without adverse effects on its properties. One disadvantage to A36 steel is that it does not have high corrosion resistance due to its low levels of nickel and chromium.
