This 7/8" x 1/4" A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar is a general-purpose structural carbon steel with excellent weldability and formability. Conforming to ASTM A36, its 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength is ideal for structural brackets, frames, and general fabrication. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar is produced by forming steel at elevated temperatures, resulting in a product with a distinctive scaly, blue-grey mill finish and slightly rounded edges. This economical process yields a material that meets ASTM A36 standards for structural applications, providing reliable strength, good ductility, and outstanding weldability with common methods like MIG and stick welding without preheating.
As a small profile bar, this 7/8" x 1/4" size is exceptionally versatile for projects where high precision is not required. It is easily cut, drilled, and welded to create custom support brackets, mounting straps, reinforcing gussets, and shims for structural alignment and general repair work.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a blue-grey, scaly surface. This mill scale must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or pickling before painting, powder coating, or galvanizing to ensure proper adhesion. Left unfinished, the steel will rust. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
