Mild Steel 1 x 1 x 1/8 Equal Angle Bar

1 x 1 x 1/8 Equal Angle Bar

The Mild Steel Angle Bar (1 x 1 x 1/8) is a fundamental structural component designed for framing, bracing, and general metal fabrication. This hot-rolled section features equal legs of 1 inch with a 1/8-inch thickness, providing a reliable balance between weight and rigidity for various site-built assemblies. It meets standard structural requirements for light-to-medium load applications.

Built for the Job

Metal fabricators and site supervisors rely on this specific L-profile for constructing brackets, frames, and reinforcements where dimensional consistency is required. The 90-degree geometry provides significantly higher resistance to bending compared to flat bar of the same gauge. This structural member is easily processed using standard workshop equipment such as abrasive saws or bandsaws. It accepts welds readily using common MIG, TIG, or Shielded Metal Arc Welding (Stick) processes, making it a versatile choice for rapid on-site modifications and permanent installations.

• Construction of lightweight shelving units and storage racking systems.

• Fabrication of gate frames, trailer chassis, and protective corner guards.

• Structural bracing for timber-to-steel connections and masonry supports.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Store this steel section in a dry, covered area to prevent the formation of surface oxidation before use.

• Remove mill scale at the weld joint using a wire wheel or flap disc to ensure maximum penetration and bond strength.

• Apply a high-quality red oxide primer or cold galvanizing spray immediately after fabrication to protect against atmospheric corrosion.

• Account for the 1/8-inch wall thickness when calculating internal clearances for sliding components or nested assemblies.
