Angle Steel

Steel Angles are the most basic type of roll-formed steel. They are formed by bending a single angle in a piece of steel. Angle Steel is ‘L’ shaped; the most common type of Steel Angles are at a 90 degree angle. The legs of the “L” can be equal or unequal in length. Steel angles are used for various purposes in a number of industries. Framing is one of the most common uses for steel angles, but steel angles are also used for brackets, trim, reinforcements, and many other uses. The larger the steel angle, the more weight and stress it can bear.

Angle Steel, commonly known as Angle Iron, is the two sides of each other into a vertical angle of the long steel. There are equal angle steel and unequal angle steel points. Of equal-sided Angle Steel, having two sides of equal width. The specification is expressed by the number of millimeters of side width × side width × side thickness. But if “30 × 30 × 3”, it means equal-edge angle steel with 30 mm width and 3 mm thickness. Alternatively, the model may be stated as a centimeter in width of the side, in condition of No. 3. Model number does not indicate the size of different side thickness in the same model, so the width and side thickness of angle steel should be fully filled out on the contract documents. The hot-rolled equilateral angle steel is 2 #-20 # . Angle steel can be made up of various stress components according to the different needs of the structure, and can also be used as a connecting component between the components. Widely used in a variety of building structures and engineering structures, such as beams, bridges, transmission towers, lifting and transportation machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, container racks and warehouses.
