This 1/2" diameter A36 Hot Rolled Steel Round Bar is a cost-effective, general-purpose structural steel. Conforming to ASTM A36, it combines 58,000 PSI tensile strength with excellent weldability and formability, making it a primary choice for fabrication and repairs. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
A36 hot rolled steel round is a general-purpose, low-carbon steel bar produced by rolling steel at high temperatures. This process yields a product free from internal stresses, making it easy to form, drill, and weld. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides good strength and ductility at an economical price point, ideal for projects where precise dimensional tolerances and a smooth surface finish are not primary concerns.
As a medium-diameter bar, this 1/2" size is highly versatile. It is commonly used for automotive and trailer axles, machinery shafts, decorative railings, concrete anchors, and industrial support pins where a balance of strength, workability, and cost is essential for the application.
