Looking for a reliable ASTM A36 plate supplier in India?
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply ASTM A36 carbon steel plates with cut-to-size, fast delivery, and mill test certificates (MTC).
ASTM A36 is one of the most widely used low-carbon steel grades for structural fabrication, general engineering, and industrial projects worldwide.
ASTM A36 is a low-carbon, mild steel plate grade specified by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) under Standard A36/A36M.
Key Characteristics of ASTM A36 Steel:
Common Applications: Beams, columns, frames, machine bases, platforms, and more.
ASTM A36 plates are widely used in:
We regularly supply fabricators, OEMs, contractors, and exporters serving projects in UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and across India.

| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.05% |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.40% (typical, not mandatory in ASTM A36) |
Detailed ASTM A36 Chemical Composition PDF available on request.
ASTM A36 is an American standard, but it has several internationally recognized equivalents used in India, Europe, Japan, and Germany.
| Standard | Equivalent Grade |
|---|---|
| ASTM A36 | Original (USA ASTM) |
| IS 2062 Grade A/B/C | Indian Standard (IS) |
| EN 10025 S275JR | European Standard (EN) |
| JIS G3101 SS400 | Japanese Standard |
| DIN St37-2 / St52-3 | German DIN Standard |
Buyer Tip:
If your project mentions A36 equivalent material, we help recommend IS 2062, S275JR, or SS400, depending on availability and specifications.
| Parameter | Range |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 6 mm to 150 mm |
| Width | Up to 2500 mm |
| Length | Up to 12000 mm |
| Custom Cut-to-Size | Available |
| CNC Drilling / Profiling | Available |
We also supply CNC profile cut parts, drilled plates, and fabrication-ready blanks.
Note: If your project requires specific Charpy V-Notch impact toughness, please mention this during inquiry.
Welding:
Easily weldable by MIG, TIG, SAW, and SMAW (Stick Welding) without preheating for thin sections.
Cutting:
Plates can be cut using plasma, oxy-fuel, waterjet, or laser cutting methods.
Drilling & Machining:
Good machinability with standard tools and carbide inserts.
Forming/Bending:
Easily bendable for most general fabrication applications.
Finishing Options:
We can also supply with shot blasting, priming, or surface finish customization (on request).
We help buyers select the most economical and available option based on project specs.
We export ASTM A36 steel plates to several countries, especially where projects require cost-effective and ready-to-fabricate structural steel.
Common Export Destinations:
Export Packaging Includes:
We handle both small trial orders and bulk container shipments.
