- A36 Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
A36 hot rolled steel is a low-carbon structural steel with a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, produced to ASTM A36 standards. The hot rolling process gives it a distinctive scaly, blue-grey mill finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes the material easy to form and weld, providing a cost-effective solution for applications where precise tolerances and surface finish are secondary to strength.
As a large-format flat bar, this 5" wide piece is an excellent choice for heavy-duty structural applications. It is commonly used for machinery base plates, column supports, heavy bracing, and frame components in construction and industrial equipment, providing a strong and stable foundation that is easily fabricated.
