How to Choose the Right Carbon Steel Angle for Your Needs

Understanding Carbon Steel Angles

Carbon steel angles, also known as L-shaped structural sections, are fundamental building blocks in construction and manufacturing. These versatile components consist of two legs meeting at a 90-degree angle, available in equal or unequal lengths. At Shandong Hongsheng Steel, we produce premium carbon steel angles that meet ASTM A36, A572, and international standards for structural applications.

Key Material Properties

When evaluating carbon steel angles, consider these critical characteristics:

• Yield Strength: Ranges from 36,000 psi (A36) to 65,000 psi (A572 Grade 50)
• Tensile Strength: Typically 58,000-80,000 psi depending on grade
• Carbon Content: 0.25%-0.29% for improved weldability
• Corrosion Resistance: Can be enhanced through galvanization

Selection Criteria for Carbon Steel Angles

1. Application Requirements

Different projects demand specific angle properties:

2. Size and Thickness Considerations

Our production capabilities include:

• Leg lengths from 20mm to 200mm
• Thickness range: 3mm to 20mm
• Custom lengths up to 12 meters

For heavy-load applications, thicker angles with 1/4" or greater thickness provide superior load-bearing capacity. Our engineers can help calculate the optimal dimensions based on your project's stress requirements.

Quality Assurance and Industry Standards

Shandong Hongsheng Steel adheres to rigorous quality control measures:

• Chemical composition analysis using spectrometry
