Value Collection 58301 A36 Steel Flat Stock 24x3x1/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 58301 is an AISI Grade A36 low carbon steel flat bar cut to 24 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 0.0625 inches (1/16 inch) thick. A36 is a widely used structural-grade mild steel known for consistent weldability, machinability, and formability. This flat stock ships as a single piece and is suited for fabrication, repair, and layout work in shops, job sites, and mechanical rooms. At 1.42 pounds, it is easy to handle and cut to secondary dimensions. Tolerances are tightly held: length at plus 0.062 inches, width at plus 0.005 to minus 0.000 inches, and thickness and squareness each at plus or minus 0.001 inches.

This flat stock is used across a range of trades and fabrication tasks including HVAC equipment mounting brackets, plumbing support straps, electrical panel backing plates, ductwork reinforcement, and general structural repair. It is equally at home in a metal fab shop or on a service truck as raw stock for field-fabricated parts. The low carbon content keeps the material ductile and easy to drill, tap, bend, and weld without preheat requirements under most standard conditions.

Installation Notes

Fabrication and cutting of steel flat stock is typically performed by metalworkers, HVAC sheet metal technicians, or maintenance trades using cold saws, angle grinders, or band saws. Wear appropriate PPE including eye and hand protection when cutting or grinding. When welding A36 stock into structural assemblies, follow applicable codes such as AWS D1.1 for structural steel welding. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and ensure proper mating surfaces.
