Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

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.

Specifications

  • Material: A36 Carbon Steel
  • Standards: ASTM A36
  • Strength/Tensile: 58,000-80,000 PSI
  • Dimensions: 1/2" diameter x 240" length
  • Finish: Mill Finish (Hot Rolled)
  • Certifications: Mill Test Report (MTR) Available

Applications

  • General Fabrication: Brackets, braces, and supports - excellent weldability and low cost make it a go-to material.
  • Automotive & Trailer: Axles, shafts, and suspension components - provides reliable strength for non-critical load-bearing parts.
  • Construction: Dowel pins, concrete anchors, and rebar - offers structural integrity and easy on-site workability.
  • Agricultural Equipment: Implement parts, pins, and fencing supports - chosen for its durability and ease of repair.

Target Users

Fabricators, welders, construction crews, and maintenance technicians rely on A36 Hot Rolled Round for its predictable performance and value in structural and repair projects throughout the Los Angeles area.

Finish Options

This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a dark, slightly rough mill scale. This surface provides minimal corrosion protection and must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or pickling before painting, powder coating, or galvanizing. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.

Round bar is measured by its diameter — the distance across the circular cross-section. Use calipers or a micrometer for an accurate reading.

Example: To order this round bar, specify "A36 Hot Rolled Round, 1/2" diameter x 240" length".
