- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
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. This process makes it cost-effective and easy to work with. Conforming to ASTM A36 specifications, it provides reliable structural performance with excellent weldability using common methods like MIG and stick welding, typically without preheating.
As a medium-width bar, this 2" x 5/8" size is perfectly suited for structural bracing, support brackets for machinery, trailer frame components, and heavy-duty gate frames where substantial strength and rigidity are required.
