• Tighter Tolerances 

ASTM A1011 Hot Rolled Steel 

ASTM 1011 is the standard specification for Sheet, Hot-Rolled, Carbon, Structural, High-Strength Low-Alloy, High-Strength Low-Alloy with improved formability, and ultra-high-strength. ASTM 1011 is ideal when some surface imperfections are not an issue. ASTM 1011 is suitable for forming and welding. Heat treatment can affect the properties of steel.

Alliance  stocks ASTM A1011 Hot Rolled Steel in:

• Commercial Steel (CS) & Drawing Steel (DS) Types A and B
• Structural Steel (SS): Grades 30-55
• HSLA (High Strength, Low Alloys)
• UHSS (Ultra-High-Strength Steel): Grades 40 - 100

ASTM A1018 Hot Rolled Steel

The A1018 specification is the standard specification for heavy gauge Hot-Rolled Sheet Carbon (CS), Structural (SS), High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLAS), and High-Strength Low-Alloy with improved formability.
(HSLAS-F) and Ultra-High Strength (UHSS) steels in thicknesses over 0.230". ASTM A1018 is ideal when some surface imperfections are not an issue. ASTM 1018 is suitable for forming and welding. Heat treatment can affect the properties of steel.

Alliance ASTM A1018 Hot Rolled Steel in:

• Commercial Steel (CS) & Drawing Steel (DS) Types A and B
• Structural Steel (SS): Grades 30-45
• HSLA (High Strength, Low Alloys)
• UHSS (Ultra-High-Strength Steel): Grades 40-100 

ASTM A36 Hot Rolled Steel

Hot Rolled Steel Sheets ASTM A36 Steel Plate is one of the most common grades of steel used in structural applications. The ASTM A36 standard covers low-carbon steels commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries. It is considerably soft for easy forming, machining, and welding. Heat treatment has less effect on ASTM A36 steel material.   

Alliance has an industry-leading inventory of HRPO and can process to your specification.  

Common grades of HRPO are:
