What are the functions and characteristics of angle steel?

Angle steel is a common metal material with an L-shaped cross-section, which consists of two perpendicular intersecting straight edges. Angle steel is usually made of carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum and is widely used in fields such as construction, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, and bridge construction. The main functions of angle steel include supporting, connecting, or reinforcing structures, commonly used to build frames, brackets, shelves, building structures, etc. Angle steel has the characteristics of strong load-bearing capacity, good bending resistance, easy processing and installation, and is therefore widely used in many engineering projects.

Angle steel has various uses and characteristics in the fields of construction and engineering, mainly including the following points:

1. Structural support: Angle steel can be used as a structural support element to build frames, brackets, columns, etc., enhancing the stability and load-bearing capacity of the structure.

2. Connector: Angle steel is also commonly used as a connector to connect different components or components, making the entire structure more sturdy and stable.

    
   

3. Engineering construction: widely used in construction, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, bridge construction and other fields, such as staircase handrails, guardrails, bridge supports, etc.

4. Decorative use: Angle steel can be used to decorate indoor and outdoor structures, such as decorative walls, columns, doors and windows, providing a beautiful appearance effect.

5. Convenient processing: The angle steel is easy to process and install, and can be processed by cutting, drilling, welding, etc. as needed, with strong applicability.

Overall, angle steel has the characteristics of strong load-bearing capacity, good bending resistance, corrosion resistance, easy processing and installation, and is a multifunctional structural material widely used in various engineering projects.
