This 3" x 2-1/2" x 1/4" hot rolled angle is a structural A36 steel product conforming to ASTM A36. It offers a minimum 36,000 PSI yield strength and excellent weldability, making it a reliable choice for structural frames, brackets, and general fabrication projects. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel angle is a low-carbon structural material produced by forming steel at high temperatures, resulting in a product with a scaled surface finish and slightly rounded corners. This versatile and cost-effective grade conforms to ASTM A36 and offers a reliable combination of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability for structural and fabrication projects where precise tolerances are not the primary concern.
As a medium-sized profile, this 3" x 2-1/2" unequal leg angle provides substantial load-bearing capacity for structural framing, equipment bases, cross-members, and industrial shelving. Its dimensions offer a balance of strength and versatility for fabrication projects requiring robust support and bracing components.

Target Users
Fabricators, construction contractors, and equipment manufacturers rely on A36 angle for its strength and ease of use in structural applications throughout the Los Angeles area.
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 projects requiring corrosion resistance, hot-dip galvanizing is a common option available by special order. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Angle is measured by its two Leg dimensions (A and B, measured from the outer corner) and its Thickness (C). For this unequal leg angle, it's crucial to specify both leg measurements.
Example: To order this angle, specify "A36 Hot Rolled Angle, 3 inch by 2-1/2 inch by 1/4 inch thickness".
