Angle steel, affectionately termed angle iron, is a long steel strip with sides that meet at an angle, acclaimed for its versatility as stress-bearing members or connectors. It is indispensable in construction and engineering, encompassing applications in building beams, bridges, 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 form of carbon structural steel, boasts a straightforward yet potent section design, primarily employed in the fabrication of metal components and structural frameworks within factory edifices. It demands excellent weldability, plastic deformation potential, and mechanical robustness. Derived from low-carbon square billets, the resulting angle steel is available in hot-rolled, normalized, or hot-rolled finishes.
