Stainless Steel Angles
Stainless steel angles are the most basic type of roll-formed steel. To make them, a single angle in a piece of steel is bent. The most common kind of Stainless Steel angle is a 90-degree angle, which is created in the shape of an ‘L.’ The greater the weight and stress that a steel angle can withstand, the better.
Stainless steel 304 angle is a manganese and chromium austenitic steel with low concentrations of copper, nitrogen, and nickel. The alloy’s chemistry is completely balanced, and it takes on an austenitic structure after annealing. Nickel content ranges from 4% to 8%, whereas manganese content is around 8% and chromium content is between 16 and 18%. Nitrogen also strengthens and increases the formability of the material. Stainless steel angles are suitable for structural applications.
When Stainless Steel 304 angle is annealed, it loses its magnetic properties. Because of the non-magnetic nature of martensite structures, cold working procedures are utilized to convert them to magnetic. Because of the cold working procedure, these angles have good mechanical strength. Angles made of stainless steel 304 are heat-treated for 30 minutes in a bath of 1900 degrees F (1038 degrees C).
In mildly corrosive circumstances, these angles provide outstanding annealed strength and corrosion resistance. Angles in SS 202 come in a range of widths and thicknesses, from 20 mm to 100 mm wide and 5 mm to 25 mm thick. These angles come in a variety of lengths ranging from 1000 mm to 5000 mm. These angles are easier to weld and can be done with any standard welding process, such as resistance or fusion welding. The mechanical parameters of 304 angles are 515 Mpa tensile strength and 275 Mpa yield strength.
Applications
Restaurant equipment, culinary utensils, sinks, automotive trim, architectural applications such as windows and doors, railway carriages, trailers, and hose clamps are all examples of stainless steel angles in use.
Stainless steel angle is commonly used in construction, bridges, machinery, framing, storage, and furniture, among other applications. They are particularly useful in situations where corrosion is a problem, such as chemical factories, food and beverage processing plants, and marine applications. They are highly sturdy and will not rust even after years of usage because they are constructed of stainless steel.
