Situated in the heart of Addis Ababa, Desta Steel is a trusted name for industrial and construction materials, proudly supplying high-quality A36 steel sheet and plate. We understand that the foundation of any great project is reliable materials, which is why we are committed to providing our customers with products that meet rigorous standards. Our focus is on supporting Ethiopia’s growing infrastructure and manufacturing sectors with durable, versatile steel that builders and fabricators can count on for consistency and performance, project after project.
The composition of A36 steel is primarily iron and carbon, with small additions of manganese, silicon, and other elements that give it its characteristic strength. This carbon steel is known for its excellent yield strength of 36,000 psi, which is what the “36” in its name signifies. It offers good weldability and formability, making it relatively easy to work with using standard methods. This combination of reliable mechanical properties and straightforward composition makes it a go-to material for a wide range of structural applications where dependable strength is essential.
