Angle steel, often referred to as angle iron, consists of long steel strips with perpendicular sides forming an angle. This versatile steel can be tailored to various stress-bearing applications within structural designs, and also serves to connect different components. Its wide range of uses spans building structures, engineering projects, bridges, power transmission towers, machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, container racks, cable trench supports, power piping, busbar installations, and warehouse shelving.
Angle steel, a carbon structural steel for construction, is characterized by its simple section. Primarily, it is utilized for metal components and factory building frames. This steel necessitates good weldability, plastic deformation performance, and adequate mechanical strength. Produced from low-carbon square billets, the finished angle steel is available in hot-rolled, normalized, or hot-rolled states.
