This 5" x 3-1/2" x 1/4" hot rolled steel angle is a versatile structural shape conforming to ASTM A36. It provides a minimum 36,000 PSI yield strength and excellent weldability, making it a reliable choice for heavy structural framing, brackets, and general fabrication. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Min. 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. As the most common grade for structural steel, A36 offers a dependable combination of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability. This makes it a cost-effective and reliable choice for a wide range of structural and fabrication projects where precise dimensional tolerances are not the primary concern.
As a large-profile angle, this 5" x 3-1/2" size provides significant structural integrity for heavy-duty applications. It is commonly specified for building frames, heavy industrial supports, equipment bases, and main structural members where high load-bearing capacity is required. It is easily cut, drilled, and welded using standard shop equipment.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, which is a blue-gray, scaled surface characteristic of the manufacturing process. This scale must be removed by grinding or sandblasting before painting or powder coating. For specific project requirements, other finishes such as galvanizing may be available via special order. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Angle is measured by its two leg lengths (A and B) and its material thickness (C). For unequal leg angle like this product, it is standard practice to list the longer leg dimension first.
Example: To order this Angle, specify "A36 Steel Angle, 5 inch by 3-1/2 inch by 1/4 inch thickness".
