A36 steel is a carbon structural steel specification for hot rolled bars, rods, and steel rod bar in a variety of applications. the carbon content of A36 steel ranges from 0.18-0.29, depending on the manganese (MN), which ranges from 0.90-1.35, respectively. This combination of chemistries is designed to achieve specific mechanical properties, including tensile strength (58-80 KSI), yield point (36 KSI minimum), and 23% minimum elongation in 2 in. KSI), yield point (min. 36 KSI), and a minimum elongation of 23% in 2 inches, while maintaining weldability. A36 carbon steel round bar is available in hot rolled, cold drawn, rough turned, or turned and polished form.
