What are Steel Angles?

Steel angles are one of the most prevalent building materials used in construction. They make the frame of structures like walls, roofs, and floors and can create trusses, braces, and support beams. Additionally, they are essential for various construction projects, as they add strength and stability to any structure.

Steel angles come in various sizes and shapes, which can be cut to your desired length and bent to any angle. They are also available in multiple grades and finishes, including galvanized and stainless steel.

Classification of Angle Steel

1. Equal Angle Steel: Angle steel with equal width on both sides. Its specifications are usually expressed in millimeters of side width × side width × side thickness. For example, "40×40×4" means an equal angle steel with a side width of 40 mm and a side thickness of 4 mm. The hot-rolled specification range is generally 2# to 20#.

2. Unequal Angle Steel: Angle steel with unequal width on both sides. Its specification expression method is similar to that of equal angle steel, but the widths of the two sides are different.

Advantage of Steel Angle

1. Structural characteristics

• Good bearing strength: The unique L-shaped cross-section design of angle steel gives it excellent bearing strength, capable of bearing large loads, ensuring the stability and safety of the structure.

• Easy to connect: The cross-sectional shape of angle steel is simple, and it is easy to connect with other components, such as welding, bolting, etc., which is convenient for construction and installation.

2. Material properties

• High strength: Angle steel has a high yield point and tensile strength, can withstand large tension and pressure, and is suitable for structures that need to bear heavy loads.

• Good toughness: Angle steel is not only strong, but also has good toughness, and can maintain stable performance under complex working conditions.

• Good corrosion resistance: After proper anti-corrosion treatment, angle steel can maintain its performance for a long time under harsh environmental conditions and extend its service life.

3. Economy and construction convenience

• High material utilization rate: Under the same bearing strength, angle steel is lighter and consumes less material, which is conducive to cost saving.

• Flexible construction: Angle steel is easy to cut, drill, bend and weld, which greatly simplifies the construction process and improves construction efficiency.

• Small space occupation: Angle steel has a compact structure and occupies less space, which is conducive to optimizing space layout.
