- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Minimum Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel is a low-carbon structural steel produced by forming at high temperatures, resulting in a scaled surface and slightly rounded corners. This angle conforms to ASTM A36, ensuring a reliable combination of strength, ductility, and outstanding weldability. Its 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength makes it a cost-effective and dependable choice for general fabrication and construction.
As a large profile angle, the 8" x 6" x 1/2" size provides significant structural integrity for heavy load-bearing applications. It is commonly used for building frames, heavy equipment bases, industrial support members, and large-scale structural bracing where maximum strength is critical.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled finish, characterized by a blue-gray mill scale. This surface must be removed by grinding or blasting before painting or coating. For corrosion protection, galvanizing or other coatings may be available via special order. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Angle is measured by its leg lengths (A & B) and thickness (C). For this unequal leg angle, both leg lengths must be specified. Use a tape measure for legs and calipers for thickness.
Example: To order this angle, specify "A36 Steel Angle, 8 inch by 6 inch by 1/2 inch thickness".
