Metal angle is one of the most versatile and widely used shapes in metalworking. Formed into an “L” shape with two legs that meet at a 90° angle, this material combines strength and simplicity, making it an essential choice for construction, fabrication, and repair projects of all sizes.

Steel Angle

Hot Rolled Steel Angle: Durable, cost-effective, and great for heavy-duty structural work such as framing, supports, and bracing. The hot rolling process creates a strong product with a mill scale finish, ideal for general-purpose use.

Cold Rolled Steel Angle: Offers a smoother finish, tighter tolerances, and increased strength compared to hot rolled. Cold rolled angle is preferred for precision work and applications where appearance is important.

Aluminum Angle

Lightweight yet strong, aluminum angle is corrosion-resistant and easy to cut, drill, and weld. It’s a popular choice for projects where weight matters, such as trailers, marine builds, and decorative framing. Aluminum angle is available in various alloys, with 6061 and 6063 being the most common for structural and architectural use.

Common Uses of Metal Angle

Frames, brackets, and supports
Construction and repair projects
Shelving and equipment stands
Trailer and vehicle fabrication
Architectural trim and edging
DIY and custom fabrication

Whether you choose steel for its strength and toughness or aluminum for its lightweight corrosion resistance, metal angle is a reliable, adaptable material that belongs in every builder’s toolkit.
