- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
A36 Hot Rolled Steel Sheet is produced by passing steel through rollers at high temperatures, creating a material with good formability, certified strength, and excellent weldability. This process results in a characteristic dark mill scale finish and looser dimensional tolerances compared to cold rolled steel, making it an economical choice for applications where a pristine surface is not required.
As a medium-gauge sheet, this 13 ga (0.09") material offers a great balance of strength and workability. It is a reliable choice for structural panels, equipment housings, trailer body panels, and other fabrication projects that require dependable structural integrity without the higher cost of a cold-finished product.
