A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 3" x 5/8"
This 3" x 5/8" A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar offers a combination of strength, formability, and excellent weldability. Certified to ASTM A36 standards, it provides a minimum 36,000 PSI yield strength, making it ideal for structural applications, frames, and general fabrication. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled A36 steel flat bar is produced by forming steel at elevated temperatures, resulting in a product with a distinctive blue-grey mill scale finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes it more cost-effective and formable than cold rolled alternatives. Conforming to ASTM A36, this low-carbon steel offers a reliable 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength and excellent weldability for structural use.
As a medium-width bar, this 3-inch size is highly versatile for structural bracing, machine ways, wear strips, and base plates where a balance of strength and surface area is required. It's a common choice for fabricators building trailer frames, equipment mounts, and architectural supports.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a blue-grey, slightly scaly surface. This mill scale must be removed by grinding or sandblasting before painting or powder coating. Left unfinished, the steel will rust. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries like galvanizing.
How to Measure
Flat bar is measured by its Width (A) and Thickness (B). The width is the larger of the two cross-sectional dimensions.
Example: To order this flat bar, specify "Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar, 3 inches by 5/8 inch".
