Hot Rolled Plates
Hot Rolled Plates
Hot Rolled Steel Plates are flat-rolled steel products with thickness typically greater than 3/16" (4.76mm), used for structural, industrial, and fabrication applications requiring high strength and durability.
- A36 (UNS K02600)
- Low-carbon steel
- Hot-rolled, mill finish
- Excellent weldability
Overview
Hot Rolled Steel Plates are fundamental structural components essential for heavy-duty construction, industrial manufacturing, and fabrication projects throughout Los Angeles. Produced by rolling heated steel slabs at high temperatures, these plates are characterized by their thickness (typically over 3/16") and exceptional strength. The hot-rolling process results in a scaled surface finish that provides natural protection during storage and handling.
As a leading metal supply in Los Angeles, we offer ASTM A36 hot rolled plates that deliver excellent mechanical properties and superior workability. A36 is a versatile low-carbon steel grade known for its balanced combination of strength, ductility, and weldability. These plates are a cornerstone material for structural applications, serving as base plates for columns, support beams, machinery foundations, and critical components in building construction.
For contractors, fabricators, and manufacturers in Southern California, our hot rolled plates provide reliable performance for demanding applications. They are commonly used alongside other steel products like I-beams, channels, and pipe for comprehensive structural solutions. Whether you need standard mill sizes or custom-cut plates for specific project requirements, we offer flexible sourcing options and processing services. From supporting galvanized steel roofing systems to creating heavy-duty bases for industrial equipment, hot rolled plates from our Los Angeles metal supply center ensure structural integrity and long-term durability.
Specifications
- Standard: ASTM A36 / ASME SA36
- Grade: Low Carbon Steel (Mild Steel)
- Thickness Range: 3/16" to 12" (4.76mm to 304.8mm)
- Width Range: Up to 120" (3048mm)
- Length Range: Up to 480" (12,192mm)
- Tolerance: ASTM A6/A6M for dimensions, flatness, and straightness
- Surface: Hot rolled with mill scale
Values may vary by mill & heat; verify against the MTR for your order.
Applications
- Structural Components: Base plates, column supports, gusset plates, and connection plates in building construction
- Industrial Fabrication: Machinery bases, equipment frames, press beds, and heavy-duty work tables
- Construction Projects: Bridge components, retaining wall supports, and structural reinforcements
- Transportation: Truck chassis, trailer beds, and heavy equipment components
- Marine Applications: Shipbuilding components, barge construction, and dock infrastructure
- General Manufacturing: Cutting into smaller pieces for brackets, flanges, and custom fabrications
Weldability
- Welds readily by MIG, TIG, Stick, or Flux-core processes.
- Select filler based on section thickness, joint design, position, and service requirements.
- Remove mill scale in the weld area for best results.
- Pre-heating may be required for thicker sections (typically over 1") to prevent cracking.
How to Measure
Specify plates by Thickness (in inches or millimeters), Width (in inches), and Length (in inches or feet). Standard ordering format: Thickness x Width x Length (e.g., 1/2" x 48" x 96"). For custom cuts, provide exact dimensions with acceptable tolerances. Material is typically sold by weight (pounds) using standard steel density of 0.283 lbs/in?. When ordering, specify ASTM grade (A36), surface condition (as-rolled, blasted, primed), and any required edge preparation (sheared, flame-cut, machined).
Order Checklist
- Dimensions (Thickness x Width x Length) with required tolerances
- Grade (e.g., A36) and quantity (pieces or total weight)
- Cutting instructions (full plates, custom sizes, or standard dimensions)
- Surface finish requirements (as-rolled, blasted, primed, painted)
- Edge preparation requirements (sheared, flame-cut, beveled, machined)
- Any certifications (Mill Test Report - MTR) required for traceability
- Special handling, packaging, or delivery requirements
