Angle steel, or angle iron, is a versatile long strip of steel with perpendicular sides forming a distinctive angle. Essential for creating stress-bearing members or as connectors in construction, it is a cornerstone in building structures and engineering marvels. Its applications are extensive, covering building beams, bridge constructions, power transmission towers, lifting machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, container racks, cable trench supports, power piping, busbar supports, and warehouse shelving.
Angle steel, a fundamental element in construction, is characterized by its simple yet effective section design. Predominantly used for creating metal components and structural frames within factory buildings, it requires outstanding weldability, capability for plastic deformation, and mechanical strength. Produced from low-carbon square billets, angle steel is available in hot-rolled, normalized, or hot-rolled finishes.
