- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled (HR) steel flat bar is formed at elevated temperatures, resulting in a product with a distinctive scaly, blue-grey finish and slightly rounded edges. Primarily produced to ASTM A36 specifications, this steel offers a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, ensuring reliable performance in structural roles. Its carbon content provides excellent weldability and it is easily drilled, punched, and formed.
As a medium-sized bar, this 1-1/2" x 1" dimension is particularly suited for structural bracing, machine ways, wear strips, and base plates where substantial strength and rigidity are required without the bulk of larger sections. Its versatility makes it a staple for fabricators.
