These steels are widely used in the fields of construction and engineering, such as beams, bridges, transmission towers, lifting and transportation machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, container racks and warehouse construction.

Angle steel and angle iron are the same material in the construction field and are often used interchangeably.

Angle steel and angle iron both refer to long strips of steel with two sides perpendicular to each other. They are consistent in appearance and specifications, but in some cases, they may be considered different names. Angle steel (angle iron) is usually divided into two types: equal angle steel and unequal angle steel. The width of the two sides of the equal angle steel is equal, while the width of the two sides of the unequal angle steel is different. These steels are widely used in the fields of construction and engineering, such as beams, bridges, transmission towers, lifting and transportation machinery, ships, industrial furnaces, reaction towers, container racks, and warehouse construction.

Equal Angle Steel: Angle steel with equal width on both sides. Its specifications are expressed in millimeters of side width × side width × side thickness. For example, "∠30×30×3" represents an equal angle steel with a side width of 30 mm and a side thickness of 3 mm.
Unequal Angle Steel: Angle steel with unequal width on both sides. Its two sides are of different lengths. It is usually used in specific structures that require different strengths or sizes.

What are the welding methods of steel pipes?

There are also some specific welding techniques and methods, such as butt welding and socket welding, which are suitable for specific welding needs and scenarios. For the welding of thin square tubes, some specific techniques need to be mastered, such as selecting the appropriate current and voltage, using the appropriate welding speed and angle, adopting the segmented welding method, using the anti-deformation method, and paying attention to the finishing of the weld, etc., to ensure the welding quality and reduce deformation.
