Ultimate Tensile Strength of A36 Steel

Ultimate Tensile Strength of A36 Steel

Ultimate tensile strength of A36 steel is the maximum stress that A36 steel can withstand while being stretched or pulled. The ultimate tensile strength of A36 steel is calculated by dividing the cross-section area of A36 steel tested by the stress placed on A36 material, generally expressed in terms of pounds or tons per square inch of A36 material.

Ultimate Tensile Strength of A36 Steel, often shortened to A36 tensile strength (TS) or ultimate strength, is the capacity of A36 steel to withstand loads tending to elongate, as opposed to compressive strength, which withstands loads tending to reduce size. Ultimate Tensile Strength of A36 Steel is 400 - 550 MPa, equal to 58000 - 79800 psi.

The proper toughness and ultimate tensile strength of A36 Steel bring it wide application in bridges,buildings, components in the automotive, construction, heavy equipment, and oil and gas industries.
