A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 6 Inch X 1/2 Inch
This 6" x 1/2" A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar is a versatile, low-carbon structural steel meeting ASTM A36 standards. Its 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength and excellent weldability make it a reliable choice for heavy fabrication, frames, and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 Hot Rolled Steel is a low-carbon steel formed at elevated temperatures, resulting in a product with a distinctive scaly, blue-grey finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes it more cost-effective than cold rolled steel, ideal for applications where surface finish and precise tolerances are not the primary concern. Conforming to ASTM A36, it offers reliable performance in structural roles with excellent weldability using common methods.
As a large-format bar, this 6-inch wide material provides substantial surface area and load-bearing capacity. It is an excellent choice for fabricating heavy equipment mounting points, machinery base plates, trailer frame cross-members, and other robust structural components where strength and stability are critical.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a blue-grey scale that offers minor, temporary rust resistance. For painting, powder coating, or galvanizing, this mill scale must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or pickling. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Flat bar is measured by its Width (A) across the wider flat surface and its Thickness (B), the smaller dimension of the rectangular cross-section.
Example: To order this flat bar, specify "A36 Hot Rolled Flat Bar, 6 Inch Width by 1/2 Inch Thickness".
