A36 hot rolled steel angle with 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" legs and 3/16" thickness, ideal for structural applications. This product conforms to ASTM A36 standards, providing a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI with excellent weldability for reliable fabrication. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
This A36 steel angle is produced by forming steel at high temperatures, resulting in a cost-effective structural material with slightly rounded corners. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a reliable combination of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability. The 90-degree L-shape delivers significant structural integrity, making it a dependable choice for projects where precise dimensional tolerances are not the primary concern.
As a medium-sized profile, this 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" angle is highly versatile. It is commonly used for structural framing in buildings, durable equipment bases, heavy-duty shelving supports, and cross-members for trailer frames where robust, load-bearing capacity is required.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a raw, blue-gray mill scale finish characteristic of the hot rolling process. This protective layer must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or chemical pickling before painting or coating to ensure proper adhesion. For custom finish requirements like galvanizing or powder coating, contact our Los Angeles sales team.
How to Measure
Unequal leg angle is measured by its two outside leg dimensions (A & B) and its material thickness (C). Always specify the larger leg dimension first.
Example: To order this angle, specify "Hot Rolled Angle, 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" with 3/16" thickness".
