Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 5 Inch X 1/8 Inch
This 5" x 1/8" A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar provides a cost-effective solution for structural and fabrication projects. Certified to ASTM A36 standards, it features a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and excellent weldability, ideal for base plates and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled A36 steel is a low-carbon structural steel formed at high temperatures, resulting in a scaly, blue-grey mill finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes it more malleable and economical than cold rolled steel. It conforms to ASTM A36 specifications, ensuring reliable performance in structural roles where precise tolerances are secondary to strength.
As a large-format flat bar, this 5-inch wide material is perfectly suited for applications requiring a substantial footprint and load-bearing capacity. Common uses include machinery base plates, heavy equipment mounting, structural gussets, and components for trailer frames and industrial supports.
