The strength of angle steel primarily depends on the type of steel used. Common materials for angle steel include mild steel (low carbon steel) and various grades of high-strength steel, such as A36 steel or higher-grade alloy steels. The specific material properties, including yield strength and tensile strength, vary depending on the steel grade.

The size and shape of angle steel play a significant role in determining its strength. Larger and thicker angles generally have higher load-bearing capacity compared to smaller and thinner ones. The dimensions are typically specified by the width of each leg, the thickness of the material, and the length of the angle.
