Angle iron, also known as angle steel, has the following characteristics:
1. Structural characteristics
      Shape advantage: The angle iron is in an "L" shape, with both sides perpendicular to each other. This simple and regular geometric shape makes it easy to provide right angle support when constructing frames, brackets, and other structures. It is also easy to splice and combine with other components to form a stable structure. For example, when building a simple bicycle shed, using angle iron as columns and beams, with its natural right angles, can quickly build a regular frame.
      Diverse sizes: The market offers a wide range of specifications for the side length and thickness of angle irons, covering multiple sizes from small 20mm to large 200mm. Different specifications meet the differentiated needs of frame construction for small household appliances to large industrial equipment. Thin angle iron is suitable for light loads and delicate structures; Thick and long edged iron can provide strong support for heavy machinery and building structures.
2. Mechanical properties
      High strength: Generally made of carbon steel or low-alloy steel, formed through rolling process, it has good tensile, compressive and bending strength. Under normal usage conditions, it can withstand a certain degree of external force without deformation or fracture. For example, the use of angle iron at the connection between steel beams and columns in industrial plants can effectively share some of the load and maintain the stability of the building structure.
      Good toughness: Angle iron is not a completely brittle material and has moderate toughness. It will not break instantly in the event of sudden impacts or vibrations, such as outdoor power towers that occasionally experience wind, rain, lightning strikes, and strong wind shaking. Angle iron material can buffer some energy and ensure that the tower stands upright for a long time.
3. Processing performance
      Easy to cut: By using common cutting tools such as oxyacetylene flame cutting machines and grinding wheel cutting machines, angle irons can be cut. The length and angle can be flexibly adjusted according to actual engineering needs, and the cut surface is relatively flat. After a slight polishing, it can be put into the next step of processing or assembly.
      Convenient welding and drilling: The surface of the angle iron is flat and has good fusion with the welding rod, making it easy to carry out welding operations and achieve firm connections between different components; At the same time, it is also suitable for drilling processing, with high-precision drilled holes that facilitate further assembly with bolts and other connecting components to improve the structure.
4. Economy and practicality
      Low cost: Compared to some special steel and complex alloy steel, the raw material cost of angle iron is not high, and the processing technology is simple, resulting in lower procurement and processing costs. It is widely used in various budget limited projects, such as the production of simple anti-theft windows for ordinary residential buildings.
      Corrosion resistance: After anti-corrosion treatment such as galvanizing and painting, the corrosion resistance of some angle irons is greatly improved, extending their service life. Outdoor street lamp pole brackets, communication base station brackets, etc., angle irons that have undergone anti-corrosion treatment will not corrode severely even if exposed to wind and rain for many years.
