- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
A36 hot rolled steel is a low-carbon steel formed at elevated temperatures, resulting in a scaly, blue-grey mill finish and slightly rounded edges. Conforming to ASTM A36, this material provides a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, ensuring reliable performance in structural roles. Its composition makes it easy to weld using common methods, cut, form, and machine, making it a go-to for many fabrication projects.
As a medium-width flat bar, this 2-1/4" size is perfectly suited for structural bracing, support straps, base plates for medium-duty machinery, trailer frames, and other general fabrication where a balance of strength and versatility is required. Its thickness provides good rigidity without being excessively heavy.

Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Flat bar is measured by its Width (A) and Thickness (B). The width is the larger flat dimension, and the thickness is the smaller dimension. Use calipers for an accurate measurement.
Example: To order this flat bar, specify "Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar, 2-1/4 Inch Width by 1/4 Inch Thickness".
