A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 4-1/2" x 1/2"
This 4-1/2" x 1/2" A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar is a versatile structural material ideal for general fabrication. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength and excellent weldability, making it a reliable choice for supports, frames, and base plates. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
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.
