2.Product Advantages

No complicated pre-welding preheating or post-welding heat treatment is required; it is compatible with various welding methods such as arc welding and gas welding, with high matching degree between weld strength and base metal

Easy to perform cold or hot processing operations such as stamping, bending, shearing and forging; not easy to crack after forming, meeting the processing requirements of complex components

Raw materials are easily available, production process is simple, and the price is lower than that of alloy steel, which can effectively control the project procurement cost

With balanced performance, it can meet the basic use needs of multiple industries such as construction, machinery

and manufacturing, with strong versatility

4.Production process

Raw Material Smelting: Melt molten iron/scrap steel in converter, precisely control carbon content, and cast into steel billets

Heating & Soaking: Send steel billets to reheating furnace, heat to 1200-1300℃ for heat preservation to ensure uniform temperature
Rough & Finish Rolling: Hot-roll high-temperature steel billets through multiple passes to target thickness, improving shape accuracy
Laminar Cooling: Cool rolled steel strip by laminar flow, control cooling rate, and optimize grain structure
Coiling & Finishing: Coil into rolls after cooling, then trim, level, inspect for flaws and package for warehousing

5.FAQ

Q1:What are the differences between A36 carbon steel coil and national standard Q235B steel coil?

A1:The two have similar performance and can be used interchangeably, but there are slight differences: A36 has a yield strength of ≥250MPa and carbon content of ≤0.26%; Q235B has a yield strength of ≥235MPa and carbon content of ≤0.20%. A36 is more suitable for American standard projects, while Q235B is applicable to national standard projects.


Q2:Can A36 carbon steel coil be used in low-temperature environments?

A2:It is not recommended to use it for a long time in low-temperature environments below -20℃. A36 has limited low-temperature toughness and is prone to brittle fracture in low-temperature environments. If low-temperature application is required, it is recommended to choose special low-temperature steel.


Q3:What should be noted in the welding of A36 carbon steel coil?

A3:Before welding, it is necessary to clean impurities such as oil stains and rust on the weld surface; E43 series welding rods can be selected; if high precision is required for components after welding, straightening treatment should be carried out to avoid welding deformation.


Q4:What is the rust resistance of A36 carbon steel coil?

A4:A36 is carbon steel without rust-resistant alloy elements, and is prone to rust in humid environments. It is recommended to carry out surface treatment such as painting, galvanizing and anti-rust oil coating to improve rust resistance.
