Carbon Steel Angle

Carbon steel angle is an equal- or unequal-leg rolled structural section ordered by grade, dimensional series, leg sizes, thickness, length, straightness, surface and processing requirements.

Common grades

Specifications and dimensions

  • Equal or unequal leg widths, thickness, root radius and nominal mass
  • Length, straightness, leg squareness, twist and sectional tolerances
  • Mill finish, shot blasting, primer, drilled holes or cut ends where ordered

Standards and supply condition

  • ASTM A6/A6M with ASTM A36/A36M or A572/A572M as ordered
  • EN 10025-2 material requirements and EN 10056 dimensional tolerances where applicable

Manufacturing and processing

  • Billet is hot rolled through angle passes, cooled, straightened, cut and marked.
  • Shot blasting, shop primer, drilling, punching and profiling are separate fabrication options.

Typical applications

  • Bracing, frames and equipment supports
  • Towers, platforms and light structures
  • Shelving, trailers and general fabrication

Quality and acceptance controls

  • Match heat or coil identity, grade, product specification and delivery condition to the material certificate.
  • Check dimensions, tolerances, straightness or flatness, surface condition, marking and permitted repair.
  • Agree mechanical, impact, pressure, NDE or coating tests and third-party witness points before production.

Include in your RFQ

  • Grade and governing product specification
  • Hot-rolled or cold-rolled route and delivery condition
  • Dimensions, tolerances, length or coil geometry and quantity
  • Surface, edge or end preparation and coating requirement
  • Mechanical, impact, pressure, NDE and inspection-document requirements
  • Marking, traceability, packing, destination and delivery term

Selection limits

  • Equal leg size does not establish grade, thickness tolerance or design capacity.
  • Cold-formed angle and hot-rolled angle have different corner geometry, residual stress and product standards.
