3/16" Carbon Steel Plate

CSN / Usiminas Quality and Traceability Certification. A 3/16" Carbon Steel Plate(4.75 mm) is a producthot rolled thin roll, manufactured according to standardsASTM A36and equivalents SAE 1008 / 1010 / 1020. It is a low to medium alloy carbon steel, widely used in structural applications, boilermaking and mechanical construction, combining strength, ductility and excellent weldability.

Features of 3/16" Carbon Steel Plate

With a thickness of4.75 mm, the3/16" sheet metalIt offers an ideal balance between mechanical strength and ease of forming. The material is produced by hot rolling, which ensures good structural homogeneity and consistent mechanical properties for industrial and structural use.
