- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel angle, often called angle iron, is a structural material produced by forming steel at high temperatures, resulting in a scaled surface finish. This grade conforms to ASTM A36, offering a dependable combination of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability. Its L-shape provides significant structural integrity for load-bearing applications where precise dimensional tolerances are not the primary concern.
As a medium-sized angle, the 2-1/2" x 2" profile is perfectly suited for structural framing, equipment bases, industrial shelving, and heavy-duty brackets. Its dimensions provide substantial strength for building frames and supports without being overly heavy, making it a popular choice for fabricators.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a blue-gray, slightly rough surface scale. This scale must be removed before painting or coating for proper adhesion. For specific project requirements, other finishes such as galvanizing or powder coating can be applied after fabrication. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Unequal leg angle is measured by its two legs (A and B), its thickness (C), and its overall length. Measure each leg from the outer corner to the end of the leg.
Example: To order this angle, specify "A36 Steel Angle, 2-1/2 inch by 2 inch by 3/16 inch thickness".
