2062 Grade B Equivalent ASME SA36 Material

IS 2062 Grade B is an Indian standard structural steel grade known for its good weldability, formability, and moderate strength, commonly used in construction, bridges, and general fabrication. It is equivalent to ASME SA36, which is the ASME-adopted version of ASTM A36 for carbon structural steel, sharing similar chemical compositions and mechanical properties for interchangeable use in non-critical applications. As a leading Chinese manufacturer and exporter, Gangsteel produces high-quality plates equivalent to IS 2062 Grade B under asme sa 283/sa 283m, offering reliable alternatives for global projects in buildings and machinery.

 

Overview of IS 2062 Grade B and ASME SA36

IS 2062 Grade B is part of the IS 2062 specification for hot-rolled medium and high tensile structural steel, with a minimum yield strength of 250 MPa for thicknesses up to 20 mm. ASME SA36 is a carbon steel specification under ASME SA36/SA36M, used for riveted, bolted, or welded structures with a yield strength of 36 ksi (250 MPa).

Both are low-carbon steels, making them equivalent in many structural contexts. Gangsteel's asme sa 283/sa 283m plates provide similar performance, including grades like sa 283 grade a steel plate, sa 283 grade b steel plate, sa 283 grade c steel plate, and sa 283 grade d steel plate for versatile structural needs.
