Our hot rolled carbon steel is commercial mild steel, found in most industries as it offers good weldability and machinability. It’s sturdy and easy to work with. It has a scaled surface finish from the cooling process and as a result, it is free of internal stresses sometimes associated with further processing. Hot rolled steel can be used in bending but is more prone to cracking.
With A36 hot rolled sheet metal, you can manufacture a wide range of products including structural beams, support frames, and brackets. Its excellent weldability and machinability make it ideal for creating industrial machinery parts, construction components, and heavy equipment. Additionally, A36 steel is commonly used in the fabrication of enclosures, base plates, and various metal structures that require durability and strength.
We guarantee awesome quality parts. If you’re not 100% happy, we’ll give you a refund or remake on the spot – no questions, no hassle.

A36 hot rolled mild steel is one of the most common and reliable steels used in fabrication. Known for its toughness, weldability, and cost-effectiveness, A36 performs well in brackets, frames, and heavy-duty structural parts. Its characteristic scale finish and slightly looser tolerances make it ideal where aesthetics take a back seat to strength and durability. Below, we answer the most common questions about A36 and how to design your parts for precision laser cutting.
A36 is a low-carbon, hot rolled mild steel that offers a balance of strength, machinability, and affordability. It’s produced by rolling the steel at high temperatures, which improves ductility and makes large shapes easier to form. The result is a strong, versatile steel with a scale-covered finish. It’s ideal for welded or structural components. SendCutSend stocks A36 as one of three types of Mild Steel.
A36 provides solid strength with good ductility and weldability. Typical properties:
Because A36 is hot rolled, it’s not as dimensionally precise as cold rolled 1008, but it’s easier to produce and more cost-efficient for thicker, load-bearing parts.
A36 laser cuts cleanly with SendCutSend’s high-powered systems, achieving tight tolerances and smooth edges.
To optimize results, follow our Design Guidelines for minimum hole and feature sizes.
A36 is one of the easiest steels to weld.
It’s widely used for welded frames, brackets, and structural weldments.
Because A36 has a mill scale surface, finishing options help protect and enhance appearance. SendCutSend offers:
A36 hot rolled mild steel is the reliable all-rounder for structural and mechanical projects. It’s strong, weldable, and laser cut with ±.005″ accuracy for dependable part fit. With SendCutSend’s available coating and hardware services, your A36 parts can be ready for assembly in just a few days. Compare A36 to other mild steel options in our Material Catalog.
