- A36 Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Minimum Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 Hot Rolled Steel is a low-carbon structural steel with excellent strength and formability. Produced by rolling steel at high temperatures, it has a characteristic scaly, blue-grey mill finish and slightly rounded edges. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a reliable 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength and outstanding weldability with common methods like MIG and stick welding, typically without preheating.
As a large-format bar, the 5" width is ideal for applications requiring significant surface area and structural integrity. Common uses include fabricating base plates for columns, heavy-duty mounting brackets for machinery, structural members in trailer frames, and robust supports in industrial equipment where strength outweighs the need for a precise surface finish.
