- A36 Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel is formed at elevated temperatures, resulting in a product with a distinctive scaly, blue-grey finish and slightly rounded edges. This cost-effective process produces a steel with excellent weldability and formability. Primarily produced to ASTM A36 specifications, this low-carbon steel offers a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, ensuring reliable performance in structural roles where precise dimensions are not critical.
As a medium-sized bar, this 2" x 1-1/4" profile is frequently used for structural bracing, machine ways, equipment frames, and wear strips. Its substantial thickness provides excellent rigidity and load-bearing capacity for demanding industrial and construction applications, while remaining easy to cut and weld on site.
