ASTM A36 Low Carbon Steel Plate 6mm Thick 1500mm Wide Hot Rolled for Structural Welding
Product Spotlights
From Hemaokang Steel (Shandong) Co., Ltd. – a trusted supplier with over US$50 million annual export value and ISO9001 certified quality management – we are pleased to introduce our ASTM A36 Low Carbon Steel Plate in 6mm thickness and 1500mm width. This hot-rolled steel plate is specifically engineered for structural welding applications, offering excellent weldability, formability, and moderate strength for a wide range of construction and fabrication projects. Whether you need plates for building frames, bridges, or heavy machinery, our product delivers consistent mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy.
Product Overview
The ASTM A36 specification is one of the most widely used carbon steel standards in the world. Our 6mm thick, 1500mm wide hot-rolled plates are produced with strict control over chemical composition and mechanical properties, ensuring that every plate meets or exceeds the requirements of the ASTM A36 standard. The hot rolling process imparts a refined grain structure, improving toughness and ductility, which is essential for welding and forming operations. Below are the key technical specifications and benefits.
| Property | Value |
| Thickness | 6 mm (±0.3 mm tolerance) |
| Width | 1500 mm (±5 mm tolerance) |
| Length | Customizable (standard 6000 mm, 12000 mm, or as required) |
| Tensile Strength (min) | 400–550 MPa (58–80 ksi) |
| Yield Strength (min) | 250 MPa (36 ksi) |
| Elongation (in 200 mm, min) | 20% |
| Chemical Composition (C max) | 0.25% |
| Surface Finish | Mill finish, optional pickled & oiled |
| Edge Type | Mill edge or cut edge per request |
Key Features & Benefits
- Excellent Weldability: Low carbon content (≤0.25%) and balanced manganese levels ensure smooth welding without preheating for most applications, reducing fabrication time and cost.
- Superior Formability: The hot-rolled microstructure provides good ductility, allowing easy bending, punching, and cutting for custom shapes.
- Consistent Mechanical Properties: Every heat is tested to guarantee minimum yield strength of 250 MPa and tensile strength of 400–550 MPa, meeting the demands of structural engineering.
- Dimensional Accuracy: Our rolling mills are equipped with advanced control systems, delivering tight thickness and width tolerances that minimize waste during processing.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for building frames, bridges, transmission towers, storage tanks, shipbuilding, and general fabrication where welding is required.
- Large Stock Availability: With 51–100 experienced employees and a well-managed warehouse, we can fulfill both small trial orders and large container shipments efficiently.
- Customizable Length & Surface Treatment: We can cut plates to your exact length (e.g., 6000mm, 12000mm) and offer pickled & oiled finish for improved corrosion resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for this 6mm thick A36 plate?
Our standard MOQ is 25 metric tons per size, but we can accommodate smaller trial orders (e.g., 5–10 tons) upon request. Please contact us for specific quantities.
2. Do you offer cutting services (e.g., shearing, laser cutting)?
Yes, we can provide shearing to your specified dimensions. Laser cutting and plasma cutting are also available for more complex shapes, with additional charges.
3. What is the typical lead time for this product?
For standard sizes and quantities, lead time is approximately 15–20 working days after order confirmation. For larger orders or custom lengths, it may be 25–30 working days.
4. Can you provide a mill test certificate (MTC) for each batch?
Absolutely. Every shipment is accompanied by a mill test certificate that verifies chemical composition, mechanical properties, and conformance to ASTM A36. Third-party inspection is also welcome.
5. Is this plate suitable for high-temperature applications?
ASTM A36 is primarily designed for structural use at ambient temperatures. For elevated temperature service, we recommend consulting our technical team or considering other grades like ASTM A572 Gr. 50 or A516.
6. What packaging do you use for export?
Plates are packed in steel bundles with slings for easy handling. Individual plates are interleaved with protective paper or plastic film to prevent scratches. For sea freight, we use waterproof wrapping and secure lashing.
7. Can you supply plates with a pickled & oiled surface?
Yes, pickled & oiled (P&O) finish is available as an option. This removes mill scale and applies a thin oil coating to protect against rust during storage and transport.
8. What are your payment terms?
We accept T/T (30% deposit, 70% against copy of shipping documents) and L/C at sight. Other terms may be negotiable based on order value and credit history.
