Hot Rolled Rounds
Hot Rolled Rounds
Hot Rolled Rounds are used for general-purpose applications. This steel is a low-carbon grade with good overall mechanical properties. It is easy to fabricate by hot forming and welding.
- A36 (UNS K02600)
- Low-carbon steel
- Hot-rolled, mill finish
- Excellent weldability
Overview
A versatile structural steel suitable for non-critical uses where minor surface seams are acceptable. It machines, punches, and forms well under mild hot-forming conditions.

Applications
- Parts for general machinery & jigs
- Agricultural implements
- Transportation brackets & fabrications
- Projects where minor surface imperfections are acceptable
Weldability
- Welds readily by MIG, TIG, Stick, or Flux-core processes.
- Select filler based on section thickness, joint design, position, and service requirements.
- Remove mill scale in the weld area for best results.
How to Measure
Measure the **diameter (Ø)** across the widest point and specify **length**. Example order: 1.000" Ø × 120" A36 HR Round.
Order Checklist
- Diameter (Ø) and required length
- Grade (e.g., A36) and quantity
- Cutting instructions (saw cut / tolerance)
- Any certifications (MTR) or special handling
