Steel angle, also known as angle iron, is a type of long strip of steel with two sides perpendicular to each other forming an angle. It is mainly made of carbon steel or low alloy steel. Steel angle can be divided into equal steel angle and unequal steel angle according to different shapes.
Equal steel angle is a type of steel angles that the two sides is equivalent. Unequal steel angle is a type of steel angles that the two sides is not equivalent. Steel angles of different types have different applications.
The application of equal steel angle
Due to its high strength and excellent tensile strength, equal steel angle is especially suitable for reinforcing buildings of various scales. It is usually used to form part of the support frames for building.
Equal steel angle can either be drilled, bolted or welded to steel structure, which can provide a secure base. Equal steel angle is usually used for manufacturing ships, trains and other industrial items.
The application of unequal steel angle
As their name suggests, unequal steel angles have two sides with different dimension. As same as equal steel angle, they also have high strength and excellent tensile strength. They also can be drilled, bolted or welded to various structure. Unequal steel angles are usually used for manufacturing of workshops, bridges and vehicles, etc.
Difference between equal steel angle and unequal steel angle
The only remarkable difference between equal steel angle and unequal steel angle is that the length of two sides is not equivalent. Both equal steel angle and unequal steel angle is the best choice for use within construction.
