A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 8" x 3/16"
This 8" x 3/16" hot rolled steel flat bar is a versatile structural material conforming to ASTM A36 specifications. With excellent weldability and a minimum 36,000 PSI yield strength, it provides reliable performance for heavy-duty fabrication, supports, and base plates. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled flat bar is a low-carbon structural steel produced by forming the metal at elevated temperatures. This process results in slightly rounded edges and a characteristic scaly, blue-grey mill finish. It meets ASTM A36 standards, ensuring dependable mechanical properties, including good strength and formability. Its composition makes it one of the easiest steels to weld, machine, and fabricate using standard shop practices.
As a large profile bar, this 8-inch wide flat stock is perfectly suited for applications requiring significant surface area and structural integrity. Common uses include machinery base plates, heavy-duty mounting brackets for equipment, structural stiffeners in building frames, and custom components for industrial machinery where robust support is critical.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, which has a rough, scaly surface. This mill scale must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or pickling before painting or powder coating to ensure proper adhesion. Left unprotected, it will rust. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Flat bar is measured by its Width (B) and Thickness (A). Always measure the flat faces, not the rounded edges, for accuracy.
Example: To order this flat bar, specify "Hot Rolled Flat Bar, 8 Inch by 3/16 Inch".
