Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 5 Inch X 1/2 Inch
This 5" x 1/2" A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar is a versatile structural material meeting ASTM A36 standards. With a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and excellent weldability, it is a go-to choice for heavy fabrication, supports, and base plates. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Hot rolled A36 steel flat bar is produced at elevated temperatures, resulting in a scaly, blue-grey mill finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes it more cost-effective and malleable than cold rolled steel. Conforming to ASTM A36 specifications, this low-carbon steel provides a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, ensuring dependable performance in structural applications and general fabrication projects.
As a large-format bar, this 5-inch wide profile provides substantial surface area and strength. It is exceptionally well-suited for creating heavy equipment base plates, structural gussets and braces, trailer frame cross-members, and other robust components where strength and load distribution are critical.
