What material can be used for A36 steel plate?
The A36 plate is used instead of the standard Q345 American Standard.
Q345 is a kind of steel material. It is low alloy steel, widely used in bridges, vehicles, ships, buildings, pressure vessels, special equipment and so on.
Q means yield strength, and Q345 indicates the yield strength of this steel is 345MPa. Q345 will decrease the yield value as the thickness of the material increases. And domestic may be small high strength steel plate in 345, so in mechanical design, the strength must be less than 345 this value, otherwise there will be problems.
