Thickness: Please inquire for AH36 and DH36 greater than 2.00 in. thick.
Width: Please inquire for available plate widths for thicknesses less than 0.250 in. For plate thicknesses of 0.250 in. or greater inquire for widths less than 72 in. or over 120 in.
Length: Please inquire for plate lengths <240 in.and greater than the listed maximum.
Mechanical Properties
Tensile testing is performed in the transverse direction.
