3/8″ Hot-Rolled Steel Round A-36
(Value Pack 3 pcs at 48″ length)*

Hot rolled (HR) steel round bars are steel bars that are pressed or rolled at high temperatures and then cooled at room temperature. They are strong, ductile, and formable, and are used in many applications, including construction, manufacturing, and agriculture.

Properties 

• Strength: HR steel round bars are strong and durable
• Formability: HR steel round bars are easy to shape and form
• Surface: HR steel round bars have a rougher surface than cold rolled steel
• Radius corners: HR steel round bars have unique radius corners

Uses 

• Industrial machinery components: Shafts, axles, gears, and other rotating parts.
• Construction components: Structural supports, beams, columns, and handrails.
• Agricultural equipment: Parts for tractors, harvesters, and other farm machinery.
• Automotive parts: Chassis components, suspension parts, and some engine components.
• Railroad tracks: Railroad ties and track components.

Production 

• HR steel round bars are made from iron ore or recycled scrap metal
• The scrap is liquefied in electric arc furnaces at temperatures close to 3,000°F
• The liquid metal is cast into ingots or billets

• The ingots or billets are reheated to 2,000°F and forced through rolls to form the round bars
