Value Collection 58389 A36 Steel Flat Stock 24x3/4x3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 58389 is a low carbon steel flat bar cut to 24 inches long, 3/4 inch wide, and 3/8 inch thick, conforming to AISI material specification A36. A36 is a structural-grade carbon steel widely used in fabrication, welding, and general machining applications. It offers predictable mechanical properties, good weldability, and consistent dimensional tolerances that meet tight fitment requirements. Each piece ships as a single unit weighing 2.16 pounds. Machinists, fabricators, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians rely on this stock for brackets, supports, gussets, and custom structural components across industrial and light commercial settings.

This flat stock is suited for applications that require a readily weldable, machinable mild steel bar with controlled tolerances. Typical uses include structural framing supports, mounting plates, spacers, and repair components in HVAC equipment bases, electrical enclosure frames, plumbing hangers, and general industrial fabrication. The predictable carbon content of A36 makes it compatible with standard MIG, TIG, and stick welding processes without requiring preheat in most shop-temperature conditions.

Key Features

• AISI A36 low carbon structural steel for consistent weldability and machinability
• Length tolerance of plus 0.062 inches ensures full usable length on every piece
• Width tolerance of plus 0.005 to minus 0.000 inches for close-fit fabrication
• Thickness and square tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for precision stack-up work
• Single-piece packaging with no minimum order above one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose A36 low carbon steel flat bar suitable for structural fabrication, welding, and machining applications where AISI A36 material specification is required.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding should be performed by qualified fabricators or tradespeople using appropriate personal protective equipment. De-burr all cut edges before handling or assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper mating surfaces. When welding A36 stock into structural assemblies, follow applicable AWS D1.1 structural welding code guidelines for joint preparation and inspection. Store flat stock horizontally on a flat surface to prevent warping prior to use.
