STEEL ANGLEHot rolled ASTM A36 mild steel equal-leg angle for brackets, frames, shelf supports, gate corners, and general fabrication or repair work. The equal-leg L profile resists bending in two directions and is easy to cut with a hacksaw, abrasive chop saw, or bi-metal bandsaw blade, drill with HSS or cobalt bits, and arc or MIG weld to size.
- Material: ASTM A36 hot-rolled mild steel
- Profile: Equal-leg L angle (90 degree)
- Wall thickness: 1/4"
- Leg size: 2" x 2"
- Length: 48"
- Finish: Mill finish with light oil; may show light scale or surface rust from storage
- Weldable, machinable, and paintable; prime and paint or galvanize for outdoor service to prevent rust
- Heavy 1/4-inch wall thickness for higher-load fabrication where 1/8-inch stock would flex; drill and cut more slowly and use sharp bi-metal blades.
Tip: Heavy fabrication, structural reinforcement, equipment stands, gate hinge plates, heavy shelving, trailer modifications. All-purpose mid-length stock for gate corners, frame members, and shelf bracket bars.
