There are four grades of this steel: A, B, C, D. Grades C and D are for structural and general use. For more information about the specifications for these two grades, please see the ATSM standards.
A36 steel has slightly higher ductility and lower strength than A283. When comparing the two, grade C is the most similar in chemical composition.
Grade D shows the highest tensile strength at 415 – 515 MPa.
A283 is only used for general structural purposes, while SA283 meets requirements for use in boiler and vessel plates, in addition to structural applications.
