Could someone explain to me what ASTM A36 Steel is. As a novice home shop guy, I'm already fammilliar with the AISI/SAE steel numbering system.
In my professional life, I often see ASTM A36 steel specified in drawings, etc. Since my boss thinks I'm an engineer, I figure I'd better know what this stuff is in case he asks me some day.
Are these ASTM designations simply specifications covering tensile strength, yeild strenth, etc., that a number of the AISI steels would meet?
Thanks,
