Analysis of A36 steel plate cutting

A36 steel plate is a kind of carbon structural steel. It is a steel plate material that's easy to cut and weld. Meanwhile, it has stable performance, high yield strength and toughness. Therefore, it is commonly used in cutting large parts, or applied to large machinery and equipment, welded structural parts, and so on.

A36 steel plate cutting:

A36 steel plate is cut by laser cutting, plasma cutting. The range of cutting thickness is 15mm-30mm. Cutting shapes has square, round, circular, and shaped parts (as per drawing).

According to the Z-direction performance standard GB/T5313, Z-direction performance is only applicable to 15mm-300mm thickness steel plate material. So greater than 30mm A36 steel plate can use flame cutting, wire cutting, water cutting. At present, the common cutting methods for steel plate cutting are flame cutting and laser cutting.
