Steel Angle & Angle Bar,Q195、Q235B、Q355B、Q390B、Q420B、Q355NH
1. Product Overview
Angle steel, also known as angle iron, is L-shaped hot rolled long section steel with 90° vertical two sides, only produced from carbon & HSLA steel without stainless steel grades. Divided into equal leg angle steel and unequal leg angle steel, with two surface options: black hot rolled angle steel & hot-dip galvanized anti-corrosion angle steel. Its vertical L-shape delivers excellent bending & compression resistance, available for cutting, drilling, welding and bolt assembly. Widely used as structural supports, trusses, tower frames, embedded parts, cable trays and guardrails, it is one of the most consumed section steel for civil construction, power, machinery, photovoltaic and overseas infrastructure projects.

4. Product Classification & Process Features
(1) By Cross Section Shape
Equal Leg Angle Steel (Mainstream Market Grade)Two legs with identical width, marked as ∠leg width × thickness e.g. ∠50×50×5; symmetrical stress bearing, widely used for factory trusses, warehouse supports and foundation embedded parts.
Unequal Leg Angle Steel (Asymmetric Load Structures)Long leg + short leg with different widths, marked as ∠long leg × short leg × thickness e.g. ∠100×63×8; designed for unbalanced load demand, ideal for pipe supports, beam-column joints and equipment bases.
(2) By Surface Treatment
Hot Rolled Black Angle Steel (Indoor General Use)Integrally hot rolled at high temperature with uniform mill scale on surface, low cost, preferred for indoor factories, embedded components and indoor cable trays.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Angle Steel (Outdoor Anti-Corrosion)Whole finished angle steel hot-dip galvanized, zinc coating weight 60–275g/㎡, neutral salt spray test 500–1200h, dedicated for substation grounding, coastal guardrails, outdoor PV supports and water conservancy projects.
5. Complete Production Process
Hot Rolled Black Angle Steel Process
Slab heating at 1100–1250℃ → High pressure water descaling → Multi-pass mill rolling for L-section → Uniform cooling on cooling bed → Roller straightening to eliminate bending → Fixed-length flame cutting → Sampling mechanical test → Steel marking with size & heat batch number → Multi-circumferential steel strapping & steel-wood pallet warehousing
Galvanized Angle Steel Process
Degreasing & cleaning of black angle steel → Pickling rust removal → Flux treatment → Hot dip galvanizing pool coating → Cooling & passivation → Edge trimming & zinc coating thickness inspection → Moisture-proof film wrapping & packaging

Black steel surface: free of lamination, scar & penetrating cracks; galvanized steel with uniform zinc coating without missing plating, peeling or burrs.
6.4 Machining Performance
Controllable carbon equivalent, compatible with SMAW, SAW & spot welding; support random cutting, punching, bending & bolt connection without brittle fracture after processing.
7. Core Product Advantages
Integral 90° L-shape with high structural rigidityBalanced bidirectional stress distribution, resistant to torsion & deformation, truss & tower frames need less auxiliary reinforcement compared with flat steel plate blanking to save material cost.
Two cross-section types cover symmetrical & asymmetrical load scenariosEqual leg grade for regular balanced supports; unequal leg grade solves unilateral heavy load demand to fit complex steel structure joint design.
Dual anti-corrosion solutions for indoor & coastal open-air serviceLow-cost black steel for indoor use; long-life galvanized coating extends service life by 3–5 years for seaside, chemical and open-air projects.
Full size spot stock & one-stop deep processing serviceFull range sizes from small 20# light supports to heavy 200# tower profiles in stock, support cutting, punching, beveling, hot-dip galvanizing & shot blasting pretreatment.
Easy welding & drilling to boost construction efficiencyFlat smooth sides without burrs, no on-site polishing required, compatible with both bolt & welded connection to greatly shorten installation period.
Complete export customs clearance documents for bulk overseas civil engineering ordersSupply SGS mechanical & salt spray test report, CE certification & original MTC certificate for container bulk export to Southeast Asia, Middle East and Africa infrastructure projects.
