- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
Hot rolled A36 steel angle is produced by forming steel at high temperatures, resulting in a product with slightly rounded corners and a scaled surface finish. This process makes it a cost-effective and dependable choice for projects where precise tolerances are not the primary concern. Its excellent weldability, ductility, and strength make it a foundational material for countless structural and fabrication projects.
As a medium-sized angle, this 3" x 2" x 1/2" profile provides substantial structural integrity. It is frequently used for equipment bases, machine frames, trailer components, and industrial shelving where a balance of strength, weight, and cost is essential. Its dimensions offer robust support for moderate to heavy loads.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a blue-gray, slightly scaled surface. This scale must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or chemical pickling before painting or powder coating. For outdoor use, it requires a protective coating to prevent rust. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Unequal leg angle is measured by the outer dimension of each leg (A & B) and the material thickness (C). Always specify the longer leg first.
Example: To order this angle, specify "Hot Rolled Angle, 3 inch by 2 inch by 1/2 inch thick".
