Technical FAQs — ASTM F1554 Grade 36
What does the "36" in Grade 36 mean?
The number 36 refers to the minimum specified Yield Strength of the material in thousands of pounds per square inch (ksi). Thus, Grade 36 steel is guaranteed to have a minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi (248 MPa), which defines its safe load-bearing capacity before permanent deformation begins.
Is Grade 36 steel weldable?
Yes. ASTM F1554 Grade 36 is specifically categorized as a weldable grade, which is one of its primary advantages for complex construction projects. This makes it an ideal choice when anchor bolts need to be welded to other structural components or embedded plates.
When should you use F1554 Grade 36 over higher grades like 55 or 105?
Grade 36 is chosen when the structural design requirements do not necessitate the higher yield strengths of Grade 55 or Grade 105. It is the most economical solution for general-purpose structural anchorage, providing a reliable, cost-effective balance of strength, ductility, and weldability for standard foundation loads.
