STAINLESS ANGLES Stainless Steel Angles and Unequal Angles Supplier When it comes to stainless steel angles and unequal stainless angles, it’s important to note that they have three dimensions: A (height), B (width), and C (depth). These dimensions determine the shape and size of the angle. However, if the largest dimension of these three falls below 3 inches, it becomes classified as a bar shape. In other words, it’s the size and proportion of the dimensions that determine whether the product is an angle or a bar. It’s worth mentioning that understanding the dimensions of these products is crucial in order to make the right selection for your specific application. By paying attention to the dimensions and shape of the product, you can ensure that you are getting the right product for your needs. It is important to note that only when there is an angle that is larger than 3” is it considered a ‘structural shape’ or ‘angle.’ Contact us for a prompt and accurate quote. Types of Stainless Steel Angles: Stainless Steel Angles and Unequal Stainless Angles are offered in: 304/316/2205 Duplex Laser Fused –Laser-fused angles are made with powerful lasers without any filler material, producing a high-quality weld. Furthermore, they offer sharp edges and generally have a smaller radius. In fact, laser-fused stainless profiles have a higher surface finish than extruded or hot-rolled products. This creates a better product, as well as forming a sleek angle. Laser-fused has a smoother bead blast finish. Therefore, laser-fused sections can be produced in small quantities, with a maximum production length of 40′. Hot Rolled – Conventional hot rolling technology enables stainless steel structural shapes by passing metal billets through a series of rollers at high temperatures. Hot rolling is typically not utilized for large-sized stainless steel products due to limitations in production technology. In fact, hot-rolled stainless steel shapes and sizes are available off the shelf, matching carbon profiles listed in the American Standard systems. Unequal Angles Stainless Shapes also provides laser-fused unequal angles.Stainless Shapes provides high-quality unequal angles. Moreover, the angles still receive the ASTM A 484 grade, and when they are laser fused (for precise measurements) they receive ASTM A1069 approval. because, therefore, whereas, moreover, in addition, hence However, Stainless Shapes wants to assure you that when you purchase your stainless steel from us, you are buying from the best mills and that your angles will perform up to any standard you put them through.

Call - 800-748-9811 Frequently Asked Questions What are stainless steel angles used for? + Stainless steel angles are used as structural members in frames and supports, bracket components, corner guards, equipment feet, conveyor framework, marine structural members, food processing equipment, architectural trim, and as reinforcement in welded assemblies. Their L-shaped cross-section provides stiffness in two planes simultaneously. What is the difference between equal and unequal leg stainless steel angles? + Equal leg angles have both legs of the same length (e.g., 2" x 2" x 1/4"). Unequal leg angles have two different leg lengths (e.g., 3" x 2" x 1/4"). Equal leg angles are the most commonly stocked and are used when symmetrical cross-section is needed. Unequal angles are used when different load or clearance requirements apply to each leg. What grades of stainless steel are available in angle? + Stainless Shapes stocks stainless steel angles in Grade 304 and Grade 316. Grade 304 is suitable for most industrial and indoor applications. Grade 316 is specified for marine, coastal, chemical processing, and food environments where higher chloride resistance is required. What sizes does Stainless Shapes stock in stainless steel angle? + Standard stainless steel angle sizes range from 3/4" x 3/4" up to 6" x 6" in equal leg, with various unequal leg configurations also available. Common stock sizes include 1" x 1", 1-1/2" x 1-1/2", 2" x 2", 2-1/2" x 2-1/2", 3" x 3", 4" x 4", with various leg thicknesses. Contact Stainless Shapes for current inventory. How is a stainless steel angle measured? + Stainless steel angle is measured by leg length x leg length x thickness (e.g., 3" x 3" x 1/4"). The leg lengths are measured on the outside faces of each leg. Thickness refers to the material thickness of each leg, which is uniform for standard angles. Can stainless steel angle be welded? + Yes, stainless steel angles are readily weldable using TIG or MIG processes. Use ER308L filler for 304 and ER316L for 316. For structural welds, ensure full penetration at the heel of the angle and clean the base metal thoroughly before welding. Is stainless steel angle magnetic? + Grade 304 and 316 stainless steel angles are austenitic and generally non-magnetic. Some cold-formed angles may show slight residual magnetism from the rolling process. This is normal and does not affect performance. What is the difference between structural and bar size stainless angles? + Bar size angles are smaller (legs typically under 3") and used in general fabrication, brackets, and supports. Structural angles (L-shapes per AISC) are larger and produced to tighter structural tolerances for load-bearing applications. Both are available from Stainless Shapes in 304 and 316 grades. Can stainless steel angle be used in marine environments? + Yes, Grade 316 stainless steel angle is excellent for marine applications. Its molybdenum content resists the chloride pitting and crevice corrosion caused by seawater and salt air. Grade 316 is the minimum specification for structural members in direct marine exposure. What is the weight per foot of common stainless steel angles? + A 2" x 2" x 1/4" stainless steel angle weighs approximately 3.19 lbs per linear foot. A 3" x 3" x 1/4" angle weighs approximately 4.90 lbs/ft. For exact weights on any size, use the Stainless Shapes metal weight calculator or contact their team.
