- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel is a low-carbon structural steel produced by forming at elevated temperatures, resulting in a scaly, blue-grey finish and slightly rounded edges. This process makes the material cost-effective and easy to work with. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a reliable minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, making it a standard choice for structural applications.
As a large-width bar, this 3-1/2" size is particularly suited for applications requiring a broad, stable surface area. Common uses include machinery base plates, heavy structural supports, die components, trailer frames, and large mounting brackets where strength and load distribution are critical.
