A36 steel is carbon steel designated A36 by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). It is not corrosion resistant; however, it can be coated with enamel or galvanized for increasing its durability and corrosion resistance. It is a hot rolled steel square-shaped bar that is grey in color and has a grainy texture. It is considered suitable for various applications including
