The 2.8-kilometer cross-sea bridge project in Indonesia opted for ASTM A36 structural steel, abandoning the
local SS400 steel, resulting in:
1. 30% increase in construction efficiency, shortening welding time by 12 days
2. No corrosion after 2000 hours of salt spray testing, extending lifespan to 30 years +
3. Heavy-duty impact resistance, ensuring the bridge structure remains stable even during typhoons
Key Advantages of ASTM A36 vs. SS400 at a Glance:
1. Higher yield strength, stronger load-bearing capacity
2. Direct welding without preheating, saving labor and time
3. Supports hot-dip galvanizing + epoxy coating, ideal for high-salt, humid environments
