Description
Product Overview
The 1/8″ .125″ hot rolled steel sheet plate is engineered to meet ASTM A36 specifications, providing a reliable balance of strength, ductility, and cost‑effectiveness for a broad range of metalworking tasks. Measuring 12 inches by 24 inches, the flat bar format offers a convenient size for cutting, bending, and welding, while the 0.125 inch thickness delivers sufficient rigidity without excessive weight.
Manufactured by Harness Machine & Fab, a reputable supplier known for consistent quality control, this sheet plate undergoes a controlled hot‑rolling process that aligns the grain structure, enhancing its mechanical properties and ensuring uniform thickness across the entire surface. The result is a material that resists warping during fabrication and maintains dimensional stability under load.
Key physical attributes include a density of approximately 7.85 g/cm³, a tensile strength ranging from 58,000 to 80,000 psi, and a yield strength of about 36,000 psi. These figures make the product suitable for structural components, brackets, and support frames where load‑bearing capacity is essential.</n
In addition to its mechanical performance, the steel sheet plate offers excellent weldability. The A36 grade is compatible with common welding techniques such as MIG, TIG, and stick welding, allowing fabricators to join pieces quickly and securely without the need for extensive pre‑heat or post‑weld treatment.
Environmental considerations are also addressed; the steel is recyclable and can be re‑processed at the end of its service life, aligning with sustainable manufacturing practices. The product’s packaging includes protective cardboard and shrink wrap to prevent surface contamination during shipping and handling.
Usage
Industrial users frequently employ this sheet plate for constructing machine frames, conveyor components, and custom tooling where precise dimensions and reliable strength are required. Its flat bar shape simplifies the creation of gussets, brackets, and mounting plates that integrate seamlessly into larger assemblies.
In the automotive sector, the material serves as a base for fabricating roll cages, chassis reinforcements, and aftermarket parts that demand high impact resistance and fatigue endurance. The A36 grade’s proven performance under cyclic loading makes it a trusted choice for safety‑critical applications.
DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists appreciate the sheet’s ease of machining. Whether cutting with a plasma cutter, drilling holes for mounting hardware, or bending to form custom brackets, the steel responds predictably, reducing the learning curve for less‑experienced users.
For educational institutions and training programs, the plate provides a hands‑on learning tool for students studying metal fabrication, welding, and structural engineering, offering a real‑world example of industry‑standard material.
