- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel is a low-carbon structural steel with excellent formability and weldability. Produced to ASTM A36 standards, it has a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, ensuring reliable performance in load-bearing roles. The hot rolling process creates a scaly, blue-grey mill finish and slightly rounded edges, making it a cost-effective choice for applications where precise tolerances are not critical.
As a medium-sized bar, this 2" x 5/16" dimension is highly versatile. It is commonly used for fabricating structural bracing, base plates for machinery, support brackets, and wear strips. Its substantial thickness provides rigidity and strength for frames, trailers, and industrial equipment repairs.
