Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 3 Inch X 1/4 Inch
This 3" x 1/4" A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar is a general-purpose structural steel with excellent weldability and formability. Conforming to ASTM A36 with a minimum 36,000 PSI yield strength, it provides reliable performance for frames, supports, and base plates. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile 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 A36 steel is produced to ASTM A36 specifications, offering reliable performance with a 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength. Its carbon content ensures excellent weldability using common methods like MIG and stick welding.
As a medium-sized flat bar, this 3" width is highly versatile. It is an ideal choice for manufacturing structural bracing, building machine ways and wear strips, and fabricating sturdy base plates for machinery and columns where both strength and a substantial surface area are required.
