A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar - 8" x 3/8" x 240"
This 8" x 3/8" hot rolled flat bar is a structural A36 steel with 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength and excellent weldability. Its substantial width makes it a prime choice for fabricating base plates, heavy equipment mountings, and robust structural supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel flat bar is a low-carbon structural steel that is easily fabricated by common methods including welding, drilling, and forming. Produced to ASTM A36 specifications, it offers a reliable minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI. The hot rolling process results in a scaly, blue-grey finish and slightly rounded edges, making it a cost-effective choice for applications where precise tolerances are not the primary concern.
As a large-dimension bar, this 8" wide flat stock provides a solid foundation for heavy-duty applications. It is frequently specified for base plates supporting structural columns, mounting pads for industrial machinery, heavy structural braces, and robust components for trailer frames and agricultural equipment where maximum strength and load distribution are required.
