Angle Steel & Angle Bar,EN 10056-1、ASTM A36/A572 Gr50、JIS G3192、ISO 630
1. Product Overview
Angle steel, commonly called angle iron, is long section steel with L-shaped cross-section and two perpendicular legs. It is divided into four categories: hot rolled equal angle steel, hot rolled unequal angle steel, hot-dip galvanized angle steel and cold-formed angle steel. Manufactured by high-temperature rolling of low-carbon steel and HSLA steel billets, it features stable cross-section and strong bending resistance. It can be assembled into various load-bearing frames and connecting joints by welding or bolts. Widely applied in indoor steel structures, outdoor anti-corrosion projects, power, photovoltaic, machinery and shipbuilding industries. Compliant with domestic hot rolled section steel standards and mainstream European, American & Japanese export industrial standards, custom processing including fixed-length cutting, punching, bending and full hot-dip galvanizing is available.

3. Product Classification by Manufacturing Process
Hot Rolled Equal Angle Steel (Main Stock Product)Two legs with identical width, size range 2#~20# (leg width 20~200mm), black hot rolled surface, balanced stress, preferred material for roof trusses and beam-column supports
Hot Rolled Unequal Angle SteelCombination of long & short legs (30×20~200×150mm), reasonable cross-section to save steel, for towers, bridges and asymmetric equipment supports
Hot-Dip Galvanized Angle SteelFully degreased & pickled then hot-dip galvanized with firmly bonded zinc layer, superior salt spray resistance, dedicated for outdoor, buried and power engineering
Cold Formed Thin-Wall Angle SteelCold rolled strip continuously bent at room temperature, high dimensional precision & light weight, for light racks, decorative frames and weak current indoor supports
4. Complete Production Process
Hot Rolled Angle Steel Process
Incoming inspection & flaw detection of square billets → Heating in furnace at 1000~1200℃ → Multi-pass groove rolling to form L-shape → Sizing, straightening & cooling → Cutting to fixed length → Full inspection of appearance & dimension → Marking & coding → Bundling with steel strips & warehousing
Galvanized Angle Steel Process
Degreasing & oil removal of finished angle steel → Hydrochloric acid pickling for oxide scale removal → Water washing & neutralization → Flux dipping & wetting → Hot-dip galvanizing at 460~520℃ → High-pressure air blowing to remove excess zinc → Passivation anti-rust treatment → Inspection & packing
Cold Formed Angle Steel Process
Uncoiling of cold rolled strip → Continuous cold bending forming → Straightening & fixed-length cutting → Shearing & packing

6. Core Product Advantages
Balanced & stable bearing capacity with L-shaped cross-sectionEqual angle steel delivers consistent bidirectional bearing capacity; unequal angle steel adapts to asymmetric loads. Easy splicing, welding and bolting with firm joints resistant to deformation.
Excellent machinability for welding, punching & bendingModerate carbon equivalent prevents cracking during gas cutting & arc welding; on-site punching, cutting and bending available for fast assembly of steel structures.
Complete anti-corrosion system for long outdoor service lifeHot-dip galvanizing provides cathodic protection via zinc layer to isolate moisture, acid & alkali soil corrosion, much longer service life than black hot rolled angle steel for open-air, coastal and chemical plant environments.
Full range of specifications & lightweight material savingFull sizes from light small supports to heavy load-bearing components. Unequal angle steel optimizes cross-section to reduce steel consumption under equal load, cutting overall engineering cost.
Stable mechanical performance with high safety factorHigh-temperature rolling eliminates internal defects such as lamination and pores, uniform strength along full length, widely adopted for high safety-grade projects including power transmission and bridges.
Sufficient Stock & Stable Delivery CycleFull series of materials and specifications in stock, shipped directly from Tianjin Port, production & delivery cycle 5–7 days. One-stop custom processing including punching, bending, galvanizing and fixed-length cutting available for bulk orders.
