Equal Angle Steel
Equal Angle Steel is hot-rolled L-shaped structural steel with two legs of identical width. Manufactured from low carbon and low alloy steel, it features outstanding weldability and bending performance. Widely supplied in various sizes and surface finishes, it is extensively used for connection supports, steel trusses, frames and general load-bearing structures in construction, machinery and transmission tower projects.
Available Grades
Q235B
The most common mild equal angle steel with balanced mechanical performance and excellent processability. Suitable for general steel structures, support frames and building auxiliary components under normal temperature environments.
Q355B
Low-alloy high-strength grade with higher yield strength than Q235B. It enables lightweight structural design and fits large-span buildings, engineering machinery and heavy-load support frameworks.
SS400
JIS standard universal equal angle steel with stable comprehensive properties. Popular among Southeast Asian buyers for metal fabrication, workshop frames and low-to-medium load structural assemblies.
A36
ASTM standard carbon structural angle steel with reliable weldability. Widely adopted for overseas construction projects, mechanical brackets and steel frame engineering in North American markets.
Product Features
- Symmetrical L-shaped cross-section provides balanced stress bearing, ideal for frame connection and triangular truss structures.
- Excellent fabricability, supporting welding, drilling, cutting and bending for diversified component manufacturing.
- Strict dimensional tolerance and flat surface, guaranteeing tight assembly fit during on-site installation.
- Multiple surface options: black hot-rolled finish, pickled surface and hot-dip galvanizing for different anti-corrosion requirements.
- Complete size specifications covering small to large leg widths, flexible to meet light and heavy-load engineering demands.
- Stable internal metallurgical structure, reducing deformation risk after cutting, welding and long-term service.
Applications
