An angle is a steel structural member widely used in the construction industry. Its main applications are as a brace, stiffener, and as a connecting element between beams and columns. This steel profile has two legs, usually arranged at a right angle (90°) to each other; however , angles with other angles less than 90° are also produced, each for specific applications.

Like other steel sections , angles are manufactured by both hot rolling and cold rolling processes.

Applications of Angle Sections

Angles are used in various fields such as different types of frames, bases and column supports, construction of fences , stairs , towers , and trusses , high-rise fasteners, covers and lightweight roofs, sheds, as well as for bracing and resisting lateral forces between columns in steel structures.
