Overview of ASTM A36 H Beam
ASTM A36 H beam steel is a low carbon steel that exhibits good strength coupled with formability. It is easy to machine and fabricate and can be securely welded. A36 H beam steel can be galvanized to provide increased corrosion resistance. Yield strength of ASTM A36 is less than that of cold roll C1018, thus enabling ASTM A36 to bend more readily than C1018. Normally, larger diameters in ASTM A36 are not produced since C1018 hot roll rounds are used.
