A36 Hot Rolled Steel Angle - 3" x 2-1/2" x 3/8"
This 3" x 2-1/2" x 3/8" hot rolled steel angle is a versatile structural shape conforming to ASTM A36. It provides a minimum 36,000 PSI yield strength and excellent weldability, making it ideal for general fabrication, structural supports, and equipment frames. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel angle is produced by forming steel at high temperatures, resulting in a product with a scaled surface finish and slightly rounded corners. This process imparts excellent formability and weldability. Conforming to ASTM A36 standards, it's a low-carbon steel offering a dependable combination of strength, ductility, and cost-effectiveness for structural applications where precise tolerances are not critical.
As a medium-sized structural shape, this 3" x 2-1/2" angle provides significant load-bearing capacity. Its dimensions are well-suited for building structural frames, manufacturing equipment bases, fabricating heavy-duty shelving units, and creating support brackets for construction projects that require robust performance.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a blue-gray, slightly rough surface scale. This scale must be removed before painting or coating for proper adhesion. For corrosion protection, galvanizing or specialized coatings are available via special order. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Angle is measured by its two legs (A & B), its thickness (C), and its overall length. For unequal leg angle, specify both leg dimensions.
Example: To order this angle, specify "Hot Rolled Angle, 3" x 2-1/2" x 3/8" x 240' length".
