An angle bar (also known as “angle iron” or “L-bracket”) is an L-shaped bar made of galvanized steel that forms an inside and outside angle. It can be easily applied to various types of surfaces via welding or drilling. An angle bar is often used for the following reasons:
With its signature L shape, an angle bar is one of the most well-known type of structural steel products in industrial environments. Here are some of the advantages that it offers:
Durable – An angle bar is recognized for its strength and stability. It can effortlessly support bigger loads than other steel products with the same thickness. When pieces of angle bar are merged together through welding, a strong structure with joints that are almost as durable as the material itself can be created.
Economical – Angle bars can be an economical replacement for structural steel products that are made of high-priced metals like aluminum or other types of material used for the same purpose. It can be utilized in low-cost projects that require great strength without going beyond the budget.
Efficient – An angle bar can be efficiently used in a lot of applications if you have the fundamental experience in welding and fabrication. It can be easily cut, bent, shaped, drilled and attached together in order to form simple and intricate structures, using the proper tools like a grinder, torch, chop saw, welder, and more.
Lightweight – An angle bar is a compact component, which makes it exceptionally lightweight compared to other structural steel products. It is perfect for making shelves, furniture, and other structures that require weight and strength for their size.
Low Maintenance – Structures that are made out of angle bars require low maintenance, given that it is free from any debris that might produce rust. Then, it should be properly covered or sealed with a coat of paint in order to prevent corrosion.
Environment--Friendly – An angle bar can be considered environment-friendly because it can be reused and recycled. The used material can be re-melted and reprocessed into a new product, which reduces the extraction of raw materials and produced waste.
Versatile – An angle bar is an incredibly versatile structural element as it is one of the most adaptable materials in industrial construction and can be suitable for a wide range of projects. Some of the common structures where it can be used include door and window frames, carts and trailers, and brace for larger structural components.
