Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 2-1/2 Inch X 1/8 Inch
This 2-1/2" x 1/8" hot rolled flat bar is an A36 structural steel ideal for general fabrication. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength and excellent weldability. Its combination of strength and workability makes it a primary choice for supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled A36 flat bar is a low-carbon steel produced by forming at elevated temperatures, resulting in a scaly, blue-grey finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes it cost-effective and easy to work with. Conforming to ASTM A36, it offers a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and excellent weldability, making it a foundational material for structural applications where precise tolerances are secondary.
As a medium-width bar, the 2-1/2" dimension is perfectly suited for structural bracing in frames, wear strips on industrial equipment, machine ways, and base plates for medium-duty machinery. Its width provides a solid foundation without the excess weight of larger bars.
