A36 hot rolled steel flat bar (1/8″ x 6″) is manufactured from low-carbon structural steel and produced to ASTM A36 specifications for general construction and fabrication applications. This flat bar features a rectangular profile with a thickness of 1/8 inch and a width of 6 inches, offering excellent weldability, machinability, and formability. The hot rolled finish provides a scaled surface with slightly rounded edges, making it suitable for structural components and industrial use where precise tolerances are not critical.

Applications:
A36 hot rolled steel flat bar is commonly used in structural, mechanical, and fabrication applications, including:
• Base plates, brackets, and support braces
• Structural frameworks and reinforcements
• Equipment and machinery fabrication
• Trailer and truck bed components
• Industrial maintenance and repair projects
• General construction and metalworking applications

Advantages:
• High strength: Meets ASTM A36 structural strength requirements
• Excellent weldability: Easily welded using standard methods
• Good machinability: Suitable for cutting, drilling, and forming
• Cost-effective: Economical choice for structural and general-purpose use
• Versatile: Ideal for a wide range of fabrication and repair applications

Summary:
The 1/8″ x 6″ A36 hot rolled steel flat bar is a strong, versatile, and cost-effective material designed for structural, industrial, and general fabrication applications. Its reliable mechanical properties, ease of fabrication, and wide availability make it a practical choice for construction, reinforcement, and manufacturing projects.
