Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 2-1/2 Inch X 1/4 Inch
This 2-1/2" x 1/4" Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar is a structural A36 steel with excellent weldability and formability. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a minimum 36,000 PSI yield strength, making it ideal for general fabrication, structural supports, and industrial maintenance. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
Hot rolled (HR) flat bar is formed at elevated temperatures, resulting in a product with a distinctive scaly, blue-grey finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes it more malleable and cost-effective than cold rolled steel. Primarily produced to ASTM A36 specifications, this steel offers a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, ensuring reliable performance in structural roles. Its carbon content provides excellent weldability using common methods like MIG and stick welding.
As a medium-sized flat bar, this 2-1/2" width is versatile for applications requiring more substance than smaller straps. It is commonly used for structural bracing, machine ways, trailer frames, and base plates where its balance of strength and formability is critical for fabrication projects.
