What are the key features of hot rolled steel angles?
Our hot rolled steel angles offer a range of essential features that make them a superb choice for engineering and structural purposes. These features include strength and structural integrity, versatility in design, and durability and corrosion resistance.
Strength & structural integrity
Hot rolled angle steel stands out from many other products due to impressive strength and structural integrity. This is a result of the hot rolling process, which heats steel above its recrystallisation temperature and allows it to be shaped and formed with superior mechanical properties. This results in durable, strong products capable of withstanding substantial loads and resisting deformation under stress.
Versatility in design
Our steel angles are highly versatile, making them suitable for an array of applications. Their L-shaped profile offers flexibility in construction, allowing them to be used in frames, supports, and reinforcements. Hot rolled steel angle sizes, dimensions, and thicknesses vary and can be tailored to meet specific project requirements.
Durability & corrosion resistance
Durability is a key characteristic of hot rolled angle steel. Thanks to strong and dependable composition, our steel angles perform well in challenging conditions and can endure exposure to high temperatures and mechanical stress. When treated with galvanised finishes or other protective coatings, they offer enhance corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor and marine environments.
Compliance & standards
We prioritise quality and compliance at SPS, ensuring that our hot rolled steel angles adhere to international safety and environmental standards. We manufacture our products to meet or exceed important certifications such as:
- ASTM A36: This is a widely recognised standard for carbon structural steel.
- EN 10025: A European standard covering hot rolled structural steel products.
- ISO 9001: This international standard highlights our commitment to quality control, ensuring that customers receive consistent, high-quality products that meet the strictest industry requirements.
What are the applications of hot rolled steel angles?
Hot rolled angle steel plays an integral role in a wide range of applications across various industries. Among these are:
- Agriculture: Our steel angles are used in the construction of barns, silos, and farming equipment.
- Construction: These steel products are found in building frameworks, bridges, and support structures.
- Engineering: Hot rolled steel angles are important in the fabrication of heavy machinery and industrial equipment.
- Marine: Steel angles are employed in shipbuilding and offshore structures due to their superior corrosion resistance.
- Transportation: Our steel angles are utilised in the manufacture of railcards, shipping containers, and trailers.
What are the different grades of hot rolled steel angles?
Our hot rolled steel angles come in various grades. The properties of these different grades are suitable for different applications. Some of those available at SPS include:
- A36: This grade is ideal for structural applications such as bridges and buildings, due to its excellent weldability and machinability.
- C45: A medium carbon steel with good tensile strength and hardness, this grade is suitable for shafts and machine components.
- S275JR: This grade offers good tensile strength and ductility and is commonly used in construction and engineering projects.
- S355JR: Known for high yield strength, this grade is preferred for heavy-duty applications where durability is essential.
