- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled (HR) A36 steel flat bar is formed at high temperatures, creating a product with a distinctive scaly, blue-grey finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes it more malleable and cost-effective than cold rolled alternatives. Conforming to ASTM A36, this low-carbon steel provides 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength and excellent weldability, making it a reliable choice for structural applications.
As a medium-sized bar, this 1" x 5/8" flat is ideal for fabricating structural bracing, base plates, equipment frames, and wear strips where a balance of strength and versatility is required for industrial and construction projects.
