A500 Grade B Steel Rectangular Tube - 6" x 3" x 0.120" Wall
This 6" x 3" x 0.120" wall rectangular tube is a structural grade hot rolled steel conforming to ASTM A500 Grade B. It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio with 58,000 PSI tensile strength and excellent weldability, making it ideal for robust structural frames. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability for Fabrication
Hot rolled rectangular steel tubing is a structural product manufactured via a cold-forming process to meet ASTM A500 Grade B standards. This grade offers a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI, making it a reliable choice for load-bearing applications. The material's chemical composition ensures excellent weldability using common techniques, though its surface has a dark mill scale typical of hot rolled products.
The large 6" x 3" cross-section provides significant resistance to bending and torsional stress. This makes it a primary choice for heavy structural frames, industrial supports, trailer beds and frames, and load-bearing columns in commercial and residential construction projects.
