- A36 Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
A36 hot rolled steel is a low-carbon structural steel produced to ASTM A36 standards. It is formed at elevated temperatures, resulting in a scaly, blue-grey mill finish and slightly rounded edges. This process provides good overall mechanical properties, including 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength, making it a reliable and cost-effective choice for general fabrication and structural applications.
As a large-format bar, this 8" x 1" size is specifically suited for heavy structural roles. Common applications include machinery base plates, die components, heavy equipment mounting brackets, and load-bearing braces where substantial cross-sectional strength is essential.
