- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel is a low-carbon structural steel formed at high temperatures, resulting in a scaly, blue-grey mill finish. It conforms strictly to ASTM A36 specifications, ensuring a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI for reliable structural performance. This grade's composition provides outstanding weldability with all common methods and good machinability for drilling, punching, and forming.
As a large-format flat bar, this 9-inch wide material provides a solid foundation for heavy-duty applications. It is frequently specified for machinery base plates, structural gussets, heavy equipment mounting brackets, trailer frame cross-members, and other components requiring significant surface area and strength.
