What Is Angular Iron?

Quick points on this material:

• An excellent choice for a variety of construction applications
• Easily to form
• High-quality, strong and durable 
• Easily worked, drilled, painted and cut
• Great bending, machining and welding abilities
• Widely recyclable
• Lower carbon content
• Cost effective
• Poor resistance to corrosion

There is no doubt that mild steel is one of the most versatile steel materials available. Due to its low carbon content, this metal can be easily drilled, cut, and welded, making it an extremely practical building material. A wide range of industries use mild steel components, from the manufacture of domestic appliances to the manufacture of agricultural equipment and heavy machinery.

How Is Angle Iron Made?

Angle iron is made by rolling steel at high temperatures to form a specific shape, usually with 90 degree angles on both sides. The process begins with heating a piece of steel to a high temperature, and then rolling it through a set of rollers that shape it into the desired angle. This process can be done by hand or by machine, and the finished product is cooled and cut to the desired length.

Where Is Angle Iron Used?

Angle iron is used in a variety of construction and structural applications. It is commonly used as a structural support in residential and commercial buildings, bridges, and other types of infrastructure. It can also be used in industrial settings for equipment support, as well as in the manufacturing of various products such as shelving, frames, and racks. Additionally, angle iron is often used in the construction of fences, gates, and other types of enclosures.

Are Mild Steel Angle Bars Corrosion Resistant?

Mild steel angle bars are not inherently corrosion-resistant. Mild steel, which is a type of carbon steel with a low amount of carbon (approximately 0.05–0.25%), is susceptible to rusting when exposed to moisture and oxygen. This is because the iron in the steel reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide, commonly known as rust. To improve the corrosion resistance of mild steel angle bars, they can be coated with a protective layer such as paint, galvanised (coated with zinc), or treated with other corrosion-resistant coatings. However, even with these protective coatings, mild steel may not be suitable for highly corrosive environments or marine applications. In such cases, it is better to use materials with higher corrosion resistance like stainless steel or marine-grade aluminum.
