Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 5 Inch X 3/8 Inch
This 5" x 3/8" hot rolled steel flat bar is a structural A36 grade ideal for heavy fabrication. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength and excellent weldability. Its substantial size is suited for base plates and structural supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled A36 steel flat bar is manufactured at elevated temperatures, resulting in a product with a scaly, blue-grey mill finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes it cost-effective and highly workable. Conforming to ASTM A36, this low-carbon steel offers a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, ensuring reliable performance in demanding structural roles where precise finish is not critical.
As a large-profile bar, the 5-inch width provides substantial surface area and strength, making it ideal for base plates for columns and machinery, heavy structural components, industrial wear strips, and support braces where load-bearing capacity is a primary requirement.

For specific project requirements, other services like sandblasting may be available. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Flat bar is measured by its Width (the larger dimension of the rectangular cross-section) and its Thickness (the smaller dimension). Use calipers for an accurate measurement of both dimensions.
Example: To order this flat bar, specify "Hot Rolled Flat Bar, 5 inch width by 3/8 inch thickness".
