Hot rolled A36 steel 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 cost-effective and easy to fabricate. Conforming to ASTM A36 standards, it has a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and is easily welded, drilled, and formed using standard structural methods.

As a large-class flat bar, this 4-1/2" width provides substantial surface area and strength for demanding applications. It is commonly used for heavy equipment mounting, machinery base plates, die components, and robust structural supports where load-bearing capacity is a primary concern.

Specifications

  • Material: A36 Hot Rolled Steel
  • Standards: ASTM A36
  • Strength/Tensile: 58,000 - 80,000 PSI
  • Dimensions: 4-1/2" Width x 1/2" Thickness x 240" Length
  • Finish: Hot Rolled (Mill Finish)
  • Certifications: MTR Available

Applications

  • Heavy Fabrication: Base plates for columns and machinery - provides a wide, stable footprint and excellent compressive strength.
  • Transportation: Trailer frames and chassis components - offers high durability and resistance to deformation under load.
  • Industrial Equipment: Die components and heavy machinery supports - substantial size withstands significant stress and wear.
  • Construction: Structural braces and gussets - excellent weldability and strength-to-weight ratio for building frames.

Target Users

Fabricators, welders, construction engineers, and maintenance personnel rely on A36 flat bar for its strength and versatility in structural applications throughout the Los Angeles area.
