Raw & Retail
BHL&J Steel supplies a huge range of light and structural section to the construction-, manufacturing-, commercial- industries as well as farmers across Limpopo. Working hand in hand, our in-house fabrication facility is actively involved in producing a host of ‘add on’ services to meet our clients’ increasing needs.
Saw cutting, welding, drilling & punching are everyday services we carry out before giving the manufactured item that finishing coat of paint. Most of our projects are made with mild steel –although other options are available. For all your enquiries, please contact a member of our sales team who will be happy to assist and advise.
Mild steel is sometimes referred to as carbon steel or plain steel. Typically, it is stiff and strong. Mild steels rust if not treated, but they can easily be painted or primed. They are more economically priced which makes them the preferred choice for most fabrications.
Mild Steel can be cut with ease to meet your custom requirements. It can also be drilled or machined comfortably by using the correct equipment. Mild steel is particularly suited to MiG or Tic welding.
Equal Angles
Mild Steel Equal Angle (EA), also known as Angles, is kept in stock for our day to day manufacturing or retail for same day collection.
Mild Steel Angle is a length of steel or iron that is bent at a right angle, commonly used for making frames, racks and for construction purposes.
We stock Equal Angles, ranging in a variety of sizes. Angle size differ from 25, 30, 40 and 50 and come in 6m lengths or 7.2m lengths. Mostly we stock 2mm thickness and on some items we have a 2.5mm and 3mm in stock – all can be cut to meet your exact requirements.
Angle can be used for various applications including to make frames, racks, shelves, brackets and general fabrications.
Steel angles are very strong but they can be easily cut. We supply a large range of abrasive cutting disks.
In order to increase corrosion resistance, we recommend either to painting or galvanising after fabrication. Alternatively, we also supply red oxide base paints.
