- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
Produced by rolling steel at high temperatures, A36 hot rolled round bar has a characteristic scaly, mill finish and is free from internal stresses. This low-carbon steel is specified under ASTM A36 and is known for its strength, ductility, and exceptional weldability, making it one of the most widely used structural steels.
The small 5/16" diameter is well-suited for applications requiring strength without bulk, such as manufacturing pins, dowels, U-bolts, shafts for light-duty equipment, and concrete anchors. Its easy formability also makes it a popular choice for creating decorative ironwork and custom brackets.
