- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
A36 hot rolled square bar is a cost-effective, general-purpose steel produced by rolling at high temperatures. This process results in a dark, scaled finish and slightly rounded corners, with less precise dimensional tolerances than cold rolled steel. It offers excellent weldability using all common methods and conforms to ASTM A36 standards for structural steel, valued for its strength and versatility.
As a small-profile bar, this 7/16" size is perfectly suited for manufacturing light-duty support brackets, mounting straps, trailer components, and frames for industrial guards or jigs where strength is required without excessive weight or bulk. Its formability makes it a preferred choice for general fabrication.
