- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
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. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a cost-effective and dependable combination of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability. The 90-degree L-shape delivers significant structural integrity for load-bearing applications.
As a large-profile angle, this 5" x 3-1/2" size is specified for heavy structural roles. Common applications include primary building frames, industrial equipment bases, machinery supports, and heavy-duty trailer frames where maximum strength and rigidity are required.
