5/8″ x 6″ Steel Flat Bar A-36 HR

Price range: $18.39 through $103.69

Part#: SFL586 Category
DESCRIPTION

The 5/8″ × 6″ steel flat bar is manufactured from A36 hot‑rolled carbon steel, a common structural grade defined by ASTM A36/A36M standards. This flat bar features a uniform thickness of 5/8″ and a width of 6″, offering reliable strength and versatility for fabrication, structural support, and general industrial applications. A36 steel provides good weldability and machinability, making it suitable for construction, equipment frames, and a wide range of structural projects where moderate strength and cost‑efficiency are required.

Applications:
5/8″ × 6″ A36 steel flat bar is commonly used in:
• Structural framing and bracing
• Support brackets and mounting plates
• Machinery bases and shop fixtures
• Construction and infrastructure projects
• Reinforcement plates and gussets
• Fabrication, welding, and custom metalwork

Advantages:
Good strength: A36 provides adequate structural performance for many load‑bearing applications
Weldable: Suitable for standard welding processes (MIG, TIG, stick, flux‑core)
Machinable: Can be drilled, cut, ground, or shaped as needed
Cost‑effective: Economical carbon steel option for many fabrication jobs
Versatile: Useful in structural, industrial, agricultural, and fabrication applications

Summary:
The 5/8″ × 6″ A36 hot‑rolled steel flat bar is a durable, weldable, and machinable structural component ideal for framing, supports, brackets, and general fabrication work. Its combination of strength, versatility, and cost‑effectiveness makes it a common choice for construction, industrial fabrication, and equipment assembly.

* Prices are subject to change without notice due to fluctuations in the metals market. | All “Value Length” and “Value Pack” item measurements are subject to standard mill tolerances. | Products may be manufactured several thousandths of an inch over or under the stated dimensions and still be within acceptable mill tolerances. All bar, tube, structural, pipe, sheet, plate, and similar products sold on our website are custom cut to the lengths and sizes selected by the customer at the time of purchase. These are not stocked as pre-cut items. Because each order is cut specifically to customer specifications, all cut materials are considered custom products and are not eligible for cancellation, return, or exchange once production has begun. Our standard cutting tolerances are:

  • Length: +0.125″ / -0.062″
  • During the cutting process, the saw blade removes approximately 1/16″ (kerf) of material. This is a normal part of the manufacturing process and is already included within the stated cutting tolerances.
