Hot Rolled Steel A36 (44W in Canada)

Grade Summary:
Hot Rolled Steel A36 (ASTM A36) is the most commonly available grades of the hot-rolled steels which has good overall mechanical properties, is easily fabricated and may be formed hot or cold. Due to the hot roll process the surface on this steel will be rough when compared to cold rolled. ASTM A36 yield strength is also less than C1018.

Typical Applications: 

• Trailers
