Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a blue-gray, scaled surface. This scale must be removed by grinding or sandblasting before painting or coating. For corrosion protection, galvanizing or other coatings can be applied. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Steel angle is measured by its leg lengths (A & B) and its thickness (C). For an equal leg angle like this, both legs are the same dimension.
Example: To order this angle, specify "A36 Steel Angle, 5 inch by 5 inch by 1/2 inch thick".
