Mild Steel 2 x 2 x 1/8 Equal Angle Bar

2×2 Steel Angle

The Mild Steel 2 x 2 x 1/8 Equal Angle Bar provides essential structural support in a variety of framing and fabrication projects. This hot-rolled L-shaped section features two perpendicular legs of equal length, creating a 90-degree profile that offers significant resistance to bending. It serves as a fundamental component for contractors requiring a balance between manageable weight and structural rigidity on the job site.

Built for the Job

Structural fabricators and site supervisors rely on this specific metal profile for its versatility in light to medium-duty construction. The material maintains its shape under load, making it suitable for creating rigid corners and stable bases. Welders find the chemical composition of this carbon steel easy to work with using standard MIG, TIG, or arc welding equipment. Because the legs are equal in size, it simplifies alignment during the assembly of square frames and bracing systems. Professionals often utilize this material for utility trailers, shelving units, and secondary reinforcement in masonry work.

• Fabrication of industrial shelving and storage racking.

• Construction of gate frames, window grills, and security bars.

• General bracing and cross-member support for steel structures.

Product Highlights

Structural Geometry

The 90-degree equal-leg design ensures uniform strength and load distribution across both axes of the profile.

Material Quality

• Hot-rolled mild steel provides excellent weldability and machinability.
• Standard mill finish allows for easy application of primers and industrial coatings.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x Single Length of Equal Angle Steel (Standard 6-meter length unless specified otherwise)

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Degrease the surface and remove mill scale before welding to ensure maximum penetration and bead integrity.

• Apply a high-quality red oxide or zinc-rich primer immediately after fabrication to prevent surface oxidation in humid environments.

• Use high-speed steel (HSS) drill bits with appropriate cutting fluid when creating bolt holes to extend tool life.

• Store this structural component off the ground on flat dunnage to prevent warping and minimize moisture contact.
