What type of steel is used in angle bars?

Angle bars, also known as angle irons or L-shaped steel, are commonly made from mild steel or carbon steel. Mild steel is a low-carbon steel that contains a relatively low amount of carbon (typically less than 0.3%). It offers good weldability, formability, and machinability, making it suitable for various applications.

The specific grade of mild steel used in angle bars may vary depending on the region and intended application. Common grades include ASTM A36, which is widely used in the United States, and S275JR, which is a European standard. These grades meet the mechanical property requirements for angle bars, including tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.

In addition to mild steel, angle bars can also be made from other types of steel with higher carbon content or alloying elements. These variations offer increased strength, corrosion resistance, or specific mechanical properties to meet specialized requirements. However, mild steel is the most commonly used material for angle bars due to its affordability and versatility.
