A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 8" x 1/4" x 240"
This 8" x 1/4" A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar is a versatile structural steel meeting ASTM A36 specifications. It features a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and excellent weldability, making it ideal for fabrication, construction, and equipment manufacturing. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled (HR) A36 steel flat bar is formed at elevated temperatures, resulting in a product with a distinctive scaly, blue-grey finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes it cost-effective and suitable for applications where precise finish is not critical. Primarily produced to ASTM A36 specifications, it offers reliable performance in structural roles with excellent weldability using common methods.
As a large-profile bar, this 8" width is ideal for manufacturing base plates for machinery and columns, heavy-duty structural braces, die components, and trailer frame cross-members where substantial load-bearing capacity and rigidity are required.
