This 3" x 3/16" A36 hot rolled steel flat bar is a cost-effective structural material for general fabrication. It conforms to ASTM A36 standards, providing reliable 36,000 PSI yield strength and excellent weldability. Ideal for frames, supports, and brackets. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel is a low-carbon structural steel with good overall mechanical properties, making it a foundational material for construction and fabrication. Formed at high temperatures, it has a characteristic blue-grey, scaly mill finish and slightly rounded edges. Its composition ensures excellent performance in structural roles, complying with ASTM A36 standards for reliable strength and ductility.
As a medium-sized bar, this 3" wide flat stock is perfectly suited for applications requiring more substance than smaller straps but without the bulk of large plates. Common uses include structural bracing, manufacturing machine ways, durable wear strips for equipment, and creating sturdy base plates for machinery and posts.
