Stainless steel angles are an L-shaped beam of steel frequently used for a variety of construction purposes. Although they may come in different sizes and proportions, stainless steel angles are always bent at a 90° angle, allowing them to be easily affixed to other materials. This allows the length of angle to be used as support for walls, ceilings and other building structures.

What is the difference between Stainless Steel and Mild Steel?

Stainless angles have the same fundamental properties as regular mild steel angles but feature higher chromium content within the material itself. This added content provides a protective layer on the material to prevent corrosion and staining, however, this added benefit makes the material slightly weaker than mild steel due to lower carbon content and also means the material has a slightly lower hardness level in comparison to mild steel.
