Common Grades
A stainless steel angle is a structural steel shape characterized by its L-shaped cross-section. It is made from stainless steel, an alloy containing a high percentage of chromium and other elements like nickel and molybdenum. The addition of chromium in stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance, making stainless steel angles suitable for various applications, particularly in environments where corrosion and rust are concerns.

Stainless steel angles are formed by bending a single piece of stainless steel into a 90-degree angle. The two legs of the L-shape are of equal length, and the angle itself may have varying thicknesses, commonly ranging from 1/16 inch to 1 inch or more. Purchase it online or at any Metal Supermarkets location, cut to your exact specifications.
There are many applications for stainless steel angles that can include trailer manufacturing, safety cages, walkways, and farming equipment. It’s generally used anywhere a structure’s rigidity needs improvement. Some typical applications for stainless steel angles include:
Structural Support – Stainless steel angles are extensively used as support brackets, frames, and reinforcements in building and construction projects. They provide stability and structural integrity to buildings, bridges, and other structures.
Architectural Detailing – In architecture, stainless steel angles are utilized for functional and decorative purposes. They create clean lines, edges, and corners, adding a modern and attractive aesthetic to buildings and interior designs.
Machinery and Equipment – Stainless steel angles are used as structural components and supports in industrial machines and conveyors.
Food Processing – Stainless steel angles are widely used in food and beverage processing due to their corrosion resistance and hygienic properties. They are employed in equipment, racks, and frames for food processing and storage facilities.
Marine and Coastal Structures – Stainless steel angles are well-suited for marine applications due to their resistance to saltwater corrosion. They are used in shipbuilding, piers, docks, and other marine structures.
Handrails and Guardrails – Stainless steel angles are used to fabricate handrails and guardrails in both commercial and residential settings. Their durability and corrosion resistance make them ideal for outdoor applications.
Signage and Displays – Stainless steel angles provide sturdy and long-lasting support for signs, boards, and displays in various public spaces.
Industrial Shelving and Racks – Stainless steel angles are used to construct sturdy and durable shelving and storage racks for warehouses, factories, and industrial facilities.
Automotive and Transportation – Stainless steel angles are utilized in the automotive and transportation industry for various applications, including truck and trailer frames, racks, and supports.
Electrical and Electronic Enclosures – Stainless steel angles are employed in manufacturing electrical and electronic enclosures, providing secure and durable housing for sensitive equipment.
