      Angle iron, named after its right angled triangle cross-section, is widely used in the field of architecture, mainly based on its good strength, stability, and ease of processing and installation. The following are common applications of angle iron in the field of construction:
1. Construction of structural framework
      Lightweight building structures: In some small or temporary buildings, such as simple sheds, prefabricated houses, etc., angle irons are often used to build frame structures. Taking the activity board house as an example, angle iron is welded or bolted together to form a frame, providing support for the wall panels and roof. Due to its relatively light weight, it is easy to transport and install, and can quickly build a space that meets the needs of use.
      Indoor partition frame: Within a building, angle iron can be used to construct the frame for indoor partitions. In the spatial separation of office buildings or shopping malls, angle iron frames are used to fix them on the ground, walls, and ceilings, and then partition materials such as gypsum board and glass are installed to form independent spatial areas. The strength of the angle iron frame is sufficient to support the partition material, and it is easy to install. The size and shape can be flexibly adjusted according to design requirements.
2. Installation and fixation of doors and windows
      Reinforcement of door and window frames: Angle iron is often used to enhance the strength of door and window frames. When installing doors and windows, fixing angle irons around the door and window openings can improve the load-bearing capacity of the openings and prevent deformation or loosening of doors and windows due to wind, vibration, and other reasons during long-term use. For example, in the installation of aluminum alloy doors and windows in some high-rise buildings, the use of angle iron can effectively enhance the connection between doors and windows and walls, improve the stability and safety of doors and windows.
     The production of door and window sashes: For some large or heavy door and window sashes, such as industrial factory doors, warehouse rolling shutter doors, etc., angle iron can be used as a fan frame to make the door and window sash. The high strength of angle iron can ensure that door and window sashes do not deform under frequent opening and closing and wind pressure, ensuring the normal use of doors and windows.
3. Roof support system
      Roof truss structure: In sloping roof buildings, angle iron can be used to form the roof truss structure. By welding or bolted connecting angle irons to form a triangular roof truss, stable support is provided for the roof. The triangular structure has good stability, and the use of angle iron can enable the roof truss to bear the weight of roof materials and loads such as wind and snow, ensuring the safety of the roof.
      Roof purlins: Angle iron is also commonly used as roof purlins, laid on roof trusses to support roof tiles or other roof covering materials. The spacing between angle iron purlins can be adjusted according to the specifications and load-bearing requirements of the roof material. It is easy to install and can adapt to different roof slopes and building shapes.
4. Pipeline and equipment fixation
      Pipe support: Angle iron is used to make pipe supports in the plumbing, ventilation, air conditioning and other piping systems of buildings. Angle iron is fixed to walls, floors, or beams and columns through expansion bolts or welding, providing support for pipelines, ensuring their position is fixed, and avoiding damage caused by vibration due to pipeline weight and medium flow. Angle irons of different specifications can be selected based on the diameter, weight, and quantity of the pipeline to meet the support requirements of different pipeline systems.
      Equipment foundation fixation: For some small building equipment, such as small fans, water pumps, etc., angle iron can be used to make the fixed frame of the equipment foundation. Welding the angle iron into a frame that matches the equipment base, fixing the equipment to the frame with anchor bolts, and then fixing the frame to the ground or foundation can enhance the stability of the equipment and reduce vibration and noise during operation.
5. Production of stairs and handrails
      Stair frame: In the production of some simple stairs or steel structure stairs, angle iron can be used as the frame material for the stairs. Angle iron is welded to form the step beams and diagonal beams of the stairs, providing support for the stair treads and railings. The stair frame made of angle iron has high strength, can withstand the load of personnel going up and down the stairs, and is relatively easy to manufacture and install.
      Armrest support: Angle iron can also be used to make the support structure for stair handrails. Fix the angle iron on the column or wall of the staircase to provide a support point for the handrail, making it more secure and stable. The shape and size of the angle iron can be processed according to the design requirements of the handrail to meet the decoration needs of different styles of stairs.
