- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled (HR) A36 flat bar is formed at high temperatures, creating a product with a distinctive scaly, blue-grey finish and slightly rounded edges. This cost-effective process results in excellent formability and ductility. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, ensuring reliable performance in structural roles and making it one of the easiest steels to weld.
As a large-format bar, this 10-inch wide flat stock is ideal for applications requiring significant surface area and strength. It is frequently used for fabricating heavy-duty base plates for machinery and columns, creating gussets for structural connections, and serving as wear strips in industrial equipment.
