Hot Rolled Steel Angle - 2 Inch X 2 Inch X 5/16 Inch
Hot Rolled Steel Angle - 2 Inch X 2 Inch X 5/16 Inch
This 2" x 2" x 5/16" hot rolled steel angle is a versatile structural shape conforming to ASTM A36 standards. It provides a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI with excellent formability and weldability, making it a foundational material for fabrication and construction. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel angle is produced by forming steel at high temperatures, resulting in a product with a scaled surface finish and slightly rounded corners. This A36 grade is a low-carbon steel alloy that provides an optimal combination of strength, ductility, and weldability, compliant with ASTM A36 specifications. It's a cost-effective and dependable choice for structural projects where precise tolerances are not critical.
As a medium-sized profile, this 2" x 2" angle is highly effective for structural framing, equipment bases, machinery supports, and heavy-duty shelving systems where significant load-bearing capacity and rigidity are required.

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. For corrosion protection, galvanizing or powder coating can be applied after proper surface preparation. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Steel angle is measured by its Leg Length (A & B) and Thickness (C). Both legs are typically equal in length. Use a tape measure for legs and calipers for thickness.
Example: To order this angle, specify "A36 Steel Angle, 2" x 2" x 5/16" x 240" length".
