A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 12" x 3/8" x 240"
This 12" x 3/8" A36 hot rolled steel flat bar is a versatile structural material meeting ASTM A36 standards. With a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and excellent weldability, it's designed for heavy fabrication, frames, and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel is a low-carbon structural steel formed at high temperatures, resulting in a scaly, blue-grey finish. This process makes it cost-effective and highly formable. It conforms to ASTM A36 specifications, guaranteeing reliable performance with a 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength. Its composition makes it one of the easiest steels to weld, drill, and machine.
As a large-format flat bar, this 12-inch wide section provides substantial surface area and rigidity. It is ideally suited for heavy-duty applications such as machinery base plates, die components, heavy equipment mounting, and primary structural members in building frames and industrial supports.
