- A36 Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
A36 hot rolled steel is a low-carbon structural grade produced by forming steel at elevated temperatures. This process results in a material with slightly rounded edges and a scaly, blue-grey mill finish. It meets ASTM A36 specifications, ensuring a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, and its composition provides excellent weldability and good machinability for easy fabrication.
As a medium-width bar, this 1-1/4" size is a versatile choice for structural bracing, machine ways, wear strips, and base plates. Its combination of strength and workability makes it a go-to material for fabricators building equipment frames, trailer components, and industrial supports.
