Hot rolled A36 steel flat bar is produced at elevated temperatures, resulting in a material with 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, it provides a reliable 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength, ensuring dependable performance in structural applications where precise finish and tight tolerances are not critical.
The 5/8" width of this flat bar makes it an ideal choice for light-duty fabrication. It is commonly used for making custom brackets, support straps, shims, decorative trim, and small frame components where strength and economy are key requirements. Left unfinished, this material will rust and requires a protective coating for outdoor use.
