ASTM A36 Carbon Equal Steel Angle
ASTM A36 carbon equal steel angle, hot rolled equal leg profile with good weldability and formability. It offers consistent yield strength for general structural loads. Supplied in standard 6m lengths, custom cutting available. Raw mill finish; MTC documents can be provided to verify material properties.
- Mill Test Certificate Provided
- Strict Quality Inspection
- Custom Sizes Available
- On-Time Global Delivery
ASTM A36 carbon equal steel angle is hot rolled equal leg structural steel produced to ASTM A36 specification. This carbon steel grade has dependable yield strength and excellent weldability, making it fit for most general load-bearing structural applications. It requires no heat treatment after rolling and accepts drilling, bending and machining easily for on-site fabrication.
The material has a typical yield strength of 250 MPa minimum. Its hot-rolled surface is bare mill finish without coating. The equal leg geometry delivers consistent performance for bracing and framed connections. It is widely used in building bracing, rack frames, handrail supports and equipment bases across North America.
Each production batch is tested for chemical composition and mechanical properties. Mill test records confirm compliance with ASTM A36 requirements. It is not corrosion-resistant in bare condition; paint or galvanized coating is necessary for long-term outdoor exposure.

Product Applications
ASTM A36 carbon equal steel angle is widely used in industrial and construction projects due to its reliable strength, good weldability, and convenient fabrication. Its L-shaped equal-leg section provides stable support in both axial and lateral directions.
1. Steel Structure Components Used in trusses, bridge supports, industrial buildings, and heavy steel framing where high structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity are required.
2. Building Framework Applied in building frames, beam-column connections, roof supports, and floor structures, helping to stabilize the overall building system.
3. Machinery Manufacturing Suitable for machine frames, worktables, conveyor supports, industrial platforms, and equipment guards, offering dependable structural support for mechanical assemblies.
4. Bracket and Support Systems Commonly used for pipe supports, cable tray supports, equipment bases, shelf brackets, and hanging supports, providing strong and easy-to-install support solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions About ASTM A36 Carbon Equal Steel Angle
1. What is ASTM A36 equal steel angle?
It is a common carbon steel angle bar meeting ASTM A36 standard. It has good weldability, formability and moderate tensile strength, widely used for general structural purposes.
2. What are the typical size ranges you supply?
We offer sizes from 20×20mm up to 150×150mm. Custom lengths can be cut as per your project requirements.
3. Does ASTM A36 steel angle require pre-treatment before welding?
No special preheating is needed for most thin to medium thickness. Just remove surface rust, oil or mill scale before welding.
4. Can this angle be used outdoors without coating?
Bare A36 carbon steel will rust when exposed to moisture. Paint or hot-dip galvanizing is recommended for long-term outdoor service.
5. What is the lead time for bulk orders?
Normally 2–4 weeks for bulk production. Delivery time depends on order quantity and shipping schedule.
6. Can you provide MTC material test certificate?
Yes, MTC will be issued together with shipment, covering chemical composition and mechanical properties for inspection.
