Angle steel, popularly known as angle iron, is a long steel strip with two sides forming a right angle with each other. This steel can be configured into various load-bearing members based on structural requirements or serve as a connection between components. Its wide range of applications encompasses numerous building and engineering structures, such as building beams, bridges, power transmission towers, lifting and transport machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reactors, container racks, cable trench supports, power piping, busbar installations, and warehouse shelves, among others.
Angle steel is a carbon structural steel, prominently utilized in construction for its simple section design. It is primarily employed in metal components and factory building frameworks. In practical use, angle steel necessitates superior weldability, plastic deformation capabilities, and certain mechanical strength. The production of angle steel begins with low-carbon square billets, resulting in finished products delivered in hot-rolled, normalized, or hot-rolled states.
