- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel plate is a low-carbon steel produced via a hot rolling process, resulting in a rough, scaled surface finish. This material's composition makes it easy to weld, machine, and form, providing a reliable and economical option for projects where precise finishes are not required. It meets ASTM A36 standards and provides a guaranteed minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI.
As a large-format 3/8" thick plate, this product is ideal for heavy structural applications. Common uses include column base plates, heavy equipment mounting pads, wear plates for industrial machinery, and robust gussets for building frames where maximum load-bearing capacity is essential.
