- 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 it cost-effective and easy to fabricate. Conforming to ASTM A36 standards, it offers a reliable combination of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability using common methods without preheating in most applications.
Its substantial 6-inch width makes this flat bar an excellent choice for large-scale applications, including heavy equipment base plates, structural gussets and braces, trailer frame components, and industrial wear strips. The robust cross-section provides significant load-bearing capacity and rigidity for demanding structural roles.
