ASTM A36 H Beam Hot Rolled Structural Steel

Hot-rolled A36 H-beam is widely used in various fields of construction engineering, such as beams and columns in high-rise buildings, bridges, industrial plants, warehouses, docks, and tower structures.

Chemical composition of A36 h section beam
Carbon (C): ≤0.2365%
Silicon (Si): 0.15%-0.40%
Manganese (Mn): 0.30%-0.60%
Phosphorus (P): 0.035%-0.045%
Iron (Fe): Main component, the balance is about iron

Mechanical properties of A36

Yield strength: Generally around 250MPa
Tensile strength: 400-550MPa
Elongation: ≥23%

Dimensions of A36 h shaped steel
Common sizes: There are many sizes such as W6x15 (height 150mm, flange width 150mm), and the web thickness and flange thickness GNEE can be customized according to specific requirements.
Tolerance: In accordance with ASTM standards, the general dimensional tolerance is around ±1%.

Manufacturing and delivery status of A36 h section steel

Manufacturing process: GNEE is produced by hot rolling, which makes the steel have uniform internal structure and good mechanical properties.
Delivery status: We usually deliver in hot-rolled state, and can also perform surface treatment such as galvanizing according to customer requirements.

Comparison with other steel grades
Compared with high-strength steel grades such as A572Gr60, the yield strength and tensile strength of A36 H-shaped steel are relatively low, but its formability and weldability are better, and it is more suitable for projects with general strength requirements.
Compared with stainless steel, A36 H-shaped steel has obvious advantages and is more widely used in occasions where corrosion resistance requirements are not particularly high.
