Classification and application of angle steel

As a commonly used metal material, angle steel has a wide range of classifications and applications. The classification and application of angle steel will be introduced below.

Classification of angle steel

Angle steel can be classified from multiple angles, mainly including classification by shape and classification by use.

Sort by shape

1.Unequal angle steel：Unequal angle steel means that the waist plates on both sides have different widths and are usually used in the construction field.

2. Equilateral angle steel：The width of the waist plates on both sides of the equilateral angle steel is equal, and it is often used in the mechanical field to manufacture tools and parts.

Classified by use

1.Industrial angle steel: Angle steel used to make industrial products such as machines, steel structures, equipment, containers, etc., which require high strength, good toughness, easy processing, and weldability.

2. Angle steel for construction: Angle steel used in construction projects to make components such as wall corners, door and window frames, etc. It requires precise dimensions, smooth surface, and beautiful appearance.

3. Decorative angle steel: Angle steel used in decoration, furniture production, art production and other fields requires beautiful appearance, elegant temperament and delicate texture.

Application of angle steel

The application fields of angle steel are very wide, including but not limited to the following aspects:

1.Construction field: Angle steel is often used in the manufacture of structural parts such as building frames, brackets, ladders, ventilation ducts, and protective railings. It is often necessary to install supporting angle steel between building beams and columns, and to reinforce the floor with angle steel.

2. Mechanical field: Angle steel is widely used to manufacture mechanical components, such as machine tools, ships, bridges, vehicles, etc., especially playing an important role in hoisting equipment. Angle steel can be used as stiffening, traction, load-bearing and other components to provide stable support and mechanical properties.

3. Structural support: Galvanized angle steel can be used to build various building structures, such as frames, beams, columns, supports, etc., to provide stable support and structural strength.

4. Furniture manufacturing: Galvanized angle steel can be used to make various furniture, such as chairs, tables, bed frames, etc., with strength and stability.

5. Petroleum and chemical industry: Angle steel is used in many equipment in the fields of petroleum and natural gas, such as oil field drilling platforms, tubing supports, etc., and is widely used in storage tanks, chemical reactors, gasifiers, etc. in the chemical industry. 

In short, angle steel, as an important metal material, plays an important role in construction, machinery, shipbuilding and other fields. When selecting angle steel, the appropriate specifications and types should be selected according to the specific application scenario.
