- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Minimum Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel angle is produced by forming steel at high temperatures, resulting in a product with slightly rounded corners and a scaled surface finish. This material conforms to ASTM A36 specifications for carbon structural steel, guaranteeing a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI. Its low carbon content ensures excellent weldability using all standard methods, making it a reliable and cost-effective choice for general fabrication.
As a large structural shape, this 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" angle is specifically suited for heavy-duty applications. The unequal leg design is useful for specific connection points, providing robust support for building frames, industrial equipment bases, trailer frames, and large-scale structural reinforcement where significant strength is paramount.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a blue-gray, slightly scaled surface. This finish must be removed for proper paint adhesion. For projects requiring corrosion resistance, galvanizing or specialized coatings can be applied after fabrication. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Angle is measured by its Leg A, Leg B, and Thickness. For this unequal leg angle, measure the length of each leg from the outer corner, then measure the thickness of the material.
Example: To order this angle, specify "A36 Steel Angle, 3-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch by 1/4 inch thickness".
