- A500B Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled rectangular tubing is a structural grade product manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B. The hot rolling process results in excellent forming and welding characteristics with a scaled surface finish. This material combines strength, weldability, and cost-effectiveness, making it a foundational choice for construction and fabrication projects requiring robust, load-bearing performance and high torsional strength.
Classified as a large profile tube, this 5" x 2" dimension is specifically suited for heavy-duty applications. Common uses include trailer frames and tongues, cross-members for vehicle beds, machine bases, and primary structural supports where significant bending and compression resistance is required.
