What is angle steel?
2022-07-04

As one of the most commonly used metal materials in the construction industry, steel profiles are divided into H-beams, I-beams, channel steels, and angle steels. In this article today, Baowu will show you the little mystery of angle steel.

 

First of all, angle steel, commonly known as angle iron, is a long strip of steel with two sides perpendicular to each other. Angle steel is mainly divided into two types: equilateral angle steel and unequal angle steel.

The chemical composition of angle steel belongs to the general structural rolled steel series, and the main verification indicators are C, Mn, P, and S. According to different materials, the content is different, the approximate range is C<0.22%, Mn: 0.30-0.65%, P<0.060%, S<0.060%.


The angle steel can be composed of various stress-bearing components according to the different needs of the structure, and can also be used as a connection between the components. Widely used in various building structures and engineering structures, such as beams, bridges, transmission towers, lifting and transportation machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, container racks, cable trench supports, power piping, busbar support installation, and warehouses Shelves etc.

Angle steel is a carbon structural steel for construction, which is a section steel with a simple section, mainly used for metal components and the frame of a workshop. In use, it is required to have good weldability, plastic deformation performance and certain mechanical strength. The raw material billet for producing angle steel is low carbon square billet, and the finished angle steel is delivered in hot-rolled, normalized or hot-rolled state.

 

Unequal angle steel is widely used in various metal structures, bridges, machinery manufacturing and shipbuilding, various building structures and engineering structures, such as beams, bridges, transmission towers, lifting and transportation machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, Container racks and warehouses, etc.
