Overview

Hot rolled steel angles are fundamental L-shaped profiles essential for countless construction, manufacturing, and fabrication projects across Los Angeles and beyond. Produced by passing heated steel billets through rollers, this process creates a consistent 90-degree angle with rounded corners, offering excellent strength and versatility. Available in both bar size shapes (greatest dimension under 3 inches) and structural shapes (at least one dimension 3 inches or greater), hot rolled angles are a cornerstone of industrial supply.

This product, typically conforming to ASTM A36 standards, is a low-carbon steel known for its exceptional weldability, machinability, and formability. Its inherent rigidity makes it ideal for adding support and structure to frameworks, trailers, equipment, and building projects. For applications in Los Angeles requiring corrosion resistance, such as outdoor structures or components for galvanized steel roofing systems, these angles can be readily galvanized.

For businesses and contractors in Los Angeles seeking a reliable metal supply for construction, hot rolled angles are indispensable. They are commonly used in conjunction with other steel products like C channels, I-beams, square tubing, and corrugated metal sheets. Whether you're working on a major commercial build, a custom fabrication job, or need components for galvanized steel fencing, hot rolled angles provide a cost-effective and robust solution. As a leading metal supply provider in LA, we stock a comprehensive range of sizes to meet your project demands promptly.

How to Measure

Order Checklist

• Angle size (e.g., 2" x 2" x 1/4") and required length
• Grade (e.g., A36) and quantity (pieces or total feet)
