A steel angle is a long steel with mutually vertical
sides. The steel angles are the most basic type of roll-formed steel.
The most commonly found steel angles are formed at a 90 degree angle and
has two legs of equal length. The sides are either equal or of different
sizes.
There are certain variations in the steel angles depending on it's
basic construction. The variations are like, if one leg is longer than
the other then it is known as L angle. If the steel angle is something
different from 90 degrees then it is known as V angle. In some steel
angles, double thickness is achieved by folding the legs inward. If the
steel angle has same sides then it means that it has identical width.
The steel angles are made according to the strength that is required for
the different structures for construction purposes.
Applications
The steel angle finds an application in a number of things, they are
mentioned below:
- Used in framing
- Used in trims
- For reinforcement
- In brackets
- Used in transmission towers
- Bridges
- Lifting and transporting machinery
- Reactors
- Vessels
- Warehouses
- Industrial boilers
- Structural steel angles are used in rolling shutters for
fabricating guides for strength and durability.
Did you know:
Steel angles are being extensively used for manufacturing bed
frames, pop-up units, crib frames, scaffolding supports, farm
machinery, casket bed frames and also in desk supports. |
