A36 hot rolled steel flat bar (1/8″ x 2-1/2″) 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 2-1/2 inches, offering good weldability, machinability, and formability. The hot rolled finish provides a scaled surface with slightly rounded edges, making it suitable for structural components and general industrial use where precise tolerances are not required.

Applications:
A36 hot rolled steel flat bar is commonly used in structural, mechanical, and fabrication applications, including:
• Base plates, brackets, and support components
• Structural framing and reinforcement
• Equipment and machinery fabrication
• Repair and maintenance work
• General construction and metalworking applications
• Spacer plates and fabrication assemblies

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 2-1/2″ A36 hot rolled steel flat bar is a durable, versatile, and cost-effective material designed for structural, industrial, and general fabrication applications. Its strength, ease of fabrication, and broad usability make it a reliable choice for construction, reinforcement, and manufacturing projects.
