Hot Rolled Equal Angles Birmingham
At Harris Steels, we supply hot rolled equal angles near Birmingham for diverse industrial projects. Commonly called angle iron or RSA (Rolled Steel Angle), these low-carbon, cost-effective angles are versatile and widely used. Angles feature a fillet or root radius to a 90° corner, reducing stress concentration. Smaller square root angles are available for lighter applications. Twisting operations are avoided to preserve strength.
Uses and Applications
Ideal for load-bearing applications, these angles can be used as finished sections or bolted/welded back-to-back to form tee shapes. Surface scale can be removed by pickling and oiling (P&O), though shot blasting is common in Birmingham for a clean finish or painting.
Manufacture and Standards
Produced to S275 and S355 standards, S355 requires a minimum tensile yield of 355 N/mm², decreasing with thickness. Production tolerances for larger sections range from 0.4 mm upwards.
