Hot Rolled Steel Angle - 3 Inch X 3 Inch X 5/16 Inch
Hot Rolled Steel Angle - 3 Inch X 3 Inch X 5/16 Inch
This 3" x 3" x 5/16" hot rolled steel angle is an A36 carbon structural steel ideal for fabrication and construction. It provides a minimum 36,000 PSI yield strength and excellent weldability per ASTM A36 standards, making it perfect for frames and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled A36 steel angle is produced by forming steel at high temperatures, resulting in a product with a distinctive scaled surface finish and slightly rounded corners. This process creates a cost-effective structural material with excellent ductility, strength, and weldability. Conforming to ASTM A36, it is the most common and reliable choice for general structural and fabrication applications.
As a medium-sized profile, this 3" x 3" angle is highly effective for structural framing, equipment bases, machinery supports, and heavy-duty industrial shelving. Its balanced strength and size make it a go-to material for fabricators requiring robust, weldable components for construction and manufacturing projects.

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 by grinding or sandblasting before painting or coating for proper adhesion. For specific project requirements, contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Steel angle is measured by its two legs and thickness. Measure the outer dimension of each leg (A and B) and the material thickness (C).
Example: To order this Angle, specify "Hot Rolled Steel Angle, 3 inch by 3 inch by 5/16 inch thickness".
