What is Angle Iron?
Angle iron is formed in a specific shape to be extremely stable and able to bear excessive amounts of pressure and weight.
Normally bent into an L-shape (always 90 degrees), angle iron is often used to frame or build various pieces of furniture, supporting structures, walls, or shelves.

Angle Bar – Equals – 25mm x 2mm
R114.40 Excl. VAT
Size : 6000mm(l) x 25mm(w) x 2mm(d)
Weight: 4.662kg per bar
An Angle Bar – Equals – also known as an “L-bracket” or an “angle iron,” is a steel bar shaped like an L. One angle is perpendicular to the other. This forms an inside angle as well as an outside angle. It is made of mild steel and is suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Angle bars are used to offer strengthened support to structures that otherwise would not be able to endure the pressure placed on them.
They are also used to reinforce edges on surfaces to prevent damage or erosion due to weathering. In the simplest sense, angle bars are used to protect any edges and corners that are required to hold their shape.

What grade of steel is angle iron?
A36
The most common grade for the HR Angle is A36, however, it can also be available in ASTM A709 Gr 36, A529 Gr 50, A572 Gr 50, and weathering steel grade ASTM A588. At Continental Steel & Tube, We have both equal and unequal angles.
How strong is angle iron?
#4 It is Strong
Thanks to the 90-degree bend, angle iron is extremely strong along its length, and resists bending. It can easily support larger loads than similar thicknesses of flat steel and it is much stronger than wood or many composites pound for pound.
