Engineering Steel is a steel that has had small amounts of one or more alloying elements (other than carbon) such as such as manganese, silicon, nickel, titanium, copper, chromium and aluminum added. This produces specific properties that are not found in regular carbon steel.
Engineering Steels are workhorses of industry because of their economical cost, wide availability, ease of processing, and good mechanical properties. Alloy steels are generally more responsive to heat and mechanical treatments than carbon steels.
Aluminium Angle is a product which has two legs to form a 90 degree angle. This product is designed to be used in both structural applications and general fabrication.
Aluminium angle is available in equal leg (legs are the same length) or unequal leg (legs are different sizes). Angle is measured first by the lengths of the legs and then the thickness of the legs.
Common Aluminium Angle Applications: trailer manufacturing, safety cages, walkways, farming equipment, and anywhere where it is important to improve the structure’s rigidity.
Typical Applications: Moldings & Extruded Trim for Stores and Homes (both interior and exterior) , Construction Tube, Lawn Furniture, Luggage Racks, Air Cylinders. Used extensively for anodized parts.
Typical Applications: Highly Stressed Applications such as Trusses, Bridges, Cranes, Transport Applications, Ore Skips, Beer Barrels, Milk Churns
