MS Angle, also known as Mild Steel Angle, is a type of structural steel product shaped in the form of an “L”, which gives it the alternate name L-angle. It is one of the most commonly used steel shapes in construction, fabrication, and structural applications due to its versatility, strength, and cost-effectiveness.
MS Angle is made from mild steel, which is a low-carbon steel with carbon content typically ranging from 0.15% to 0.25%. This composition gives mild steel the following properties:
Good weldability
High ductility
Moderate strength
Good machinability
Relatively low cost
These properties make MS Angles suitable for both load-bearing and non-load-bearing applications.
MS Angles are characterized by their L-shaped cross-section, which includes:
Two legs that meet at a 90-degree angle.
Equal angle: both legs are of the same length (e.g., 50×50 mm).
Unequal angle: one leg is longer than the other (e.g., 75×50 mm).
They are available in various sizes and thicknesses, depending on the structural requirements. Common thicknesses range from 3 mm to 10 mm or more, and they are generally supplied in standard lengths (usually 6 or 12 meters), though custom sizes can be made.
MS Angles are typically manufactured using the hot rolling process, where steel billets are heated and passed through rollers to shape them into angles. This process ensures:
Uniform thickness
Consistent mechanical properties
Good surface finish
MS Angles are used in a wide range of industries and structures due to their adaptability:
Construction Industry:
Structural frameworks
Roofing and trusses
Support beams
Bridges and towers
Fabrication Works:
Machinery frames
Shelving and racking systems
Guard rails and fencing
Infrastructure Projects:
Railway and highway barriers
Communication towers
Transmission line supports
Automotive and Shipbuilding
Chassis and structural components
Cost-effective compared to other metals
Ease of fabrication (cutting, drilling, welding)
Readily available in the market
Durable and strong
Can be galvanized or painted for corrosion resistance
MS Angles are a vital component in the construction and manufacturing sectors due to their robust structure, flexibility in usage, and economical nature. Whether used as a primary structural member or as support for other frameworks, they play a crucial role in ensuring the strength and stability of a wide variety of structures and products.
