Alloy: A36 | Material: Steel | Shape: Bar-Rectangle | Production Method: Hot Rolled | Thickness: 0.1875 Inches | Item Width: 0.5 Inches | Item Length: 48 Inches Carbon Steel Flat Bars A36 (0.1875" X 0.5") are made of low carbon steel that is commonly found in most industries, offer good weldability, machinability, and can be heat treated to harden its surface. Unlike cold rolled steel, Carbon Steel Flat Bar A36 has a rougher surface and with galvanization, it can resist corrosion well. Carbon Steel is steel that has been roll-pressed at very high temperatures—over 1,700˚F, which is above the re-crystallization temperature for most steels. This makes the steel easier to form, and resulting in products that are easier to work with. Carbon Steel is ideal where dimensional tolerances aren’t as important as overall material strength, and where surface finish isn’t a key concern. Where surface finish is a concern, scaling can be removed by grinding, sand blasting, or acid-bath pickling. Once scaling has been removed, various brush or mirror finishes can also be applied.
