Metal Angle

Angle is a length of steel or iron that is bent at a right angle, commonly used for making frames, racks and for construction purposes.

Angle is available in Mild Steel, Galvanised Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium and Brass.

Mild Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon and may also be referred to as carbon steel or plain steel. Mild Steel is the most common steel due to its relatively low price and desirable properties such as malleability, ductility and strength. Mild Steel is not very resistant to corrosion however can be easily painted or primed to improve this. Some popular uses of Mild Steel include the catering industry, particularly cooking utensils. In the automotive industry, Mild Steel is commonly used to make car parts and bodies, whilst in construction it is favoured as a suitable frame for buildings. Mild Steel is also popular for machine part manufacturing and is becoming increasingly common in fencing and pipelines.

Our Galvanised Mild Steel products have been hot dip galvanised in a zinc coating which provides protection to the mild steel and gives a shiny, silver finish. The corrosion of zinc is much slower in comparison to mild steel which makes it more resistant to rusting than ordinary mild steel. Galvanised Mild Steel is therefore great for outdoor use as it can withstand the elements, giving it a longer life expectancy. The effectiveness of the zinc coating may decrease over time meaning rusting is inevitable due to exposure to the weather over a period of decades.

Stainless Steel is the name given to a range of steels which contain enhanced levels of chromium providing the steel with very good corrosion and heat resistance properties. Every grade of Stainless Steel is able to resist some level of corrosion and heat, however each grade contains different levels of chromium and therefore different corrosion and heat resistance properties. These qualities make Stainless Steel very versatile and suitable for use in food preparation, engineering, pharmaceutical and architectural industries.

Our Stainless Angle is supplied in grade 304 and 316. Grade 304 is the most commonly used grade and is suitable for most general applications. It is easy to weld and has good forming properties and corrosion resistance. Grade 316 has a higher corrosion resistance than grade 304 making it more suited to tough environments such as exposure to salt water and heavily industrialised areas. It has good weldability but is slightly harder to machine than grade 304.

Aluminium is a highly versatile metal and has many uses including packaging, household items, transportation, machinery and construction. It is the most widely used metal second only to steel. Aluminium is very lightweight with an excellent strength to weight ratio - even superior to the strength to weight ratio of steel. Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion however this resistance can be improved by anodising or painting the aluminium. Aluminium can also be welded and has good thermal and electrical conductivity.

Aluminium Angle is supplied in grade 6082. This grade of aluminium is a medium strength alloy which has excellent corrosion resistance which means it is ideal for use in structural applications. Some common uses include cranes, roofs, bridges, transport or any other high stress application.

Brass is harder than copper and has a yellow gold appearance. It has excellent corrosion resistance but does tarnish. It is useful where low friction is important, for example, locks, valves, gears and bearings. It is also used in plumbing and electrical applications. Brass is also antibacterial which makes it ideal for doorknobs and door handles.

The Brass Angle we supply is grade CZ130 and is avaiable in a variety of thicknesses and lengths. The angle we stock comes with a mill finish and are not bright polished.
