A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 8" x 1/2" x 240"
This 8" x 1/2" A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar is a versatile structural steel product conforming to ASTM A36 standards. It offers a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and exceptional weldability, making it ideal for heavy structural applications. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
A36 hot rolled steel is produced at elevated temperatures, resulting in a scaly, blue-grey mill finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes the material easy to form and weld. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a reliable minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, making it a go-to choice for structural applications where precise tolerances and a smooth finish are secondary to strength.
As a large format bar, this 8" width is perfectly suited for heavy-duty applications. It is commonly used for fabricating machinery base plates, die components, heavy structural braces and supports, and trailer frame cross-members where maximum load-bearing capacity is required.
