Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What does ASTM A36 mean?
A: ASTM A36 is a standard specification for carbon structural steel. It covers steel plates, shapes, and bars with a minimum yield strength of 250 MPa. It is one of the most widely used structural steel grades for general fabrication and construction.
Q2: What is the thickness tolerance for your 6mm plate?
A: Our hot-rolled A36 plate is manufactured within standard ASTM A6/A6M tolerances. For 6mm thickness, the typical tolerance is ±0.3mm. We can provide tighter tolerances upon request with additional processing.
Q3: Can you cut the plate to specific sizes?
A: Yes, we offer custom cutting services. Whether you need rectangles, squares, or special shapes, our production line can cut to your exact dimensions. Please provide your requirements when placing an order.
Q4: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, the MOQ is typically 25 metric tons per specification. For custom sizes, the MOQ may vary. Contact our sales team to discuss your needs — we are flexible for trial orders.
Q5: How long does delivery take?
A: For standard 6mm plates in stock, delivery is usually within 7-15 days after order confirmation. For custom orders, lead time is 15-30 days depending on quantity and complexity. We ship worldwide via sea or land.
Q6: Do you provide samples before bulk order?
A: Yes, we can provide small samples (e.g., 300x300mm) for quality evaluation. The sample is free, but you will need to cover the shipping cost. Please contact us to arrange.
Q7: What certifications do you have?
A: Our company is ISO9001 certified. We can also provide mill test certificates (MTC) for each batch, showing chemical composition and mechanical properties. Additional third-party inspection (e.g., SGS, BV) is available upon request.
Q8: How is the plate packaged for export?
A: Each plate is bundled with steel straps and protected with waterproof paper or plastic covering. For long-distance shipments, we also use wooden crates or steel frames for extra protection. The packaging meets international shipping standards.
