Carbon Steel Angle

Carbon steel angle bars are hot-rolled steel angle sections used for projects requiring rigidity and good resistance to bending in any direction. From general structural projects to manufacturing, fabrication, and repair, carbon steel angle bars are used in a diverse range of applications.

Carbon Steel Angle Properties

With a grade of ASTM A36, our carbon steel angle bars have low carbon content and are also known as mild steel. This makes them weldable, machinable, and excellent for drilling, grinding, punching, and tapping.

Because our carbon steel angle products are hot-rolled, they have greater strength and durability than those that have not undergone this heat treatment.

Below are carbon steel angle properties that can help in the success of your project and the support the flow of your operations:

High Durability

Thanks to its exceptional shock resistance and rugged composition, carbon steel angles are engineered to withstand fluctuating pressures and harsh elements. This durability makes it ideal for general structural projects, grating systems, and high-load environments. Whether indoors or out, its performance under stress remains dependable.

Cost-Effective Strength

With a high strength-to-weight ratio, carbon steel angle bars and components can be manufactured with thinner walls while still supporting heavy loads. This efficiency reduces material usage without sacrificing performance, offering significant savings for contractors and fabricators.

Sustainable and Recyclable

As a fully recyclable material, carbon steel supports sustainable practices. It can be melted and reused repeatedly without losing its grade or strength. This not only lowers environmental impact but also meets the growing demand for eco-friendly materials in structural steel applications.

Carbon Steel Angle Applications

Compared to other shapes and types of materials, the carbon steel angle bars’ 90-degree angle shape provides strength, rigidity, and efficient load distribution for a lower price. Additionally, carbon steel angles are easy to attach using rivets, bolts, or welds due to their multiple flat surfaces.

These advantages make carbon steel angle bars a staple in thousands of applications.

Carbon Steel Angle FAQs

ASTM A36 steel is named by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). This steel grade specifies the required chemical composition and mechanical properties of the material. “A” denotes an iron-based metal, and the number “36” refers to a minimum yield strength of 36,300 psi. 

ASTM A36 angle carbon steel bars are an excellent option for welding, as they also have 58 to 80 ksi tensile strength and 101 to 126 HB hardness.

Carbon steel angle bars can be cold or hot-rolled. At Alcobra Metals, we offer hot-rolled carbon steel angle bars. These bars are made from a billet metal slab that’s heated and rolled through steel shape formers until they achieve the desired shape. 

The heating process helps the steel form organized grains that contribute to its strength and durability.

Yes, angle carbon steel bars are considered mild steel because they have a low carbon content, typically up to 0.26%. Its low carbon content makes it more ductile, weldable, and malleable than medium- or high-carbon steels.

The density of A36 steel is approximately 0.284 pounds per cubic inch, which is typical for carbon steel. This makes it easy to estimate weight, shipping requirements, and load capacity.

ASTM A36 angle carbon steel bars have a melting point of approximately 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit (1,427 degrees Celsius). Its high melting temperature ensures that A36 angle carbon steel bars can be safely welded, heat-treated, or used in high-temperature areas without losing structural integrity.
