Detailed Description of Angle Steel Products
Angle Steel (commonly known as Angle Iron) is a long strip of steel with two sides perpendicular to each other forming an L-shape. It is a simple section steel, widely used in construction, machinery, bridges, transmission towers and other fields. Its material, model, specification and size can be flexibly selected according to the application scenario to adapt to different force-bearing and environmental requirements.
I. Product Classification
1. Classified by Side Length
Equal Angle Steel: Both sides are of equal length, and the specification is expressed as "side width × side width × side thickness", such as ∠50×50×5, which is suitable for most general scenarios.
Unequal Angle Steel: The two sides are of unequal length, and the specification is expressed as "long side × short side × side thickness", such as ∠63×40×5. It is divided into equal thickness and unequal thickness, suitable for structural parts with uneven force bearing.
2. Classified by Process
Hot-Rolled Angle Steel: As the mainstream product, it implements the standard GB/T 706-2016, with natural oxide scale on the surface, high strength and low price, and is currently the most used category in the market.
Cold-Rolled Angle Steel: It has high dimensional accuracy and smooth surface, is used for precision components, has a high price, and is suitable for scenarios with strict requirements on dimensional errors.
Galvanized Angle Steel: Divided into hot-dip galvanizing (thick zinc layer, strong corrosion resistance) and cold galvanizing (thin zinc layer, low cost), it is suitable for outdoor, humid, acid-base and other corrosive environments.
