What is Steel Channel?
Like other hollow sections, steel channel is rolled from steel sheet into C or U shapes. It consists of a wide "web" and two "flanges". The flanges could be parallel or tapered. C channel is a versatile product that is obtainable in various sizes and widths. Determining the correct C-channel size for your construction project is paramount.

Surface Treatments？
Steel channels are extensively used in a lot of applications. There are mainly three types of surface treatments to code with the conditions. Black or non-treatment is not frequently used for the steel will rust easily without any protective layers. Hot-dip galvanization and primer is the common treatments. Zinc coating resists environmental and weather corrosion, while primer does better. You can choose any kind according to your own application.
Hot Rolled Steel Channel ASTM A36
Hot rolled steel channel has a mild steel structural C shape with inside radius corners that are ideal for all structural applications.
The shape of this product is ideal for added strength and rigidity over steel angle when a project's load is vertical or horizontal.
Additionally, this steel shape is easy to weld, cut, form, and machine.
Hot Rolled Steel Channel Applications
Hot rolled steel channel is used in numerous types of industrial applications, including:
General fabrication
Manufacturing
Repairs
Frames
Trailers
Ceiling systems
Construction supports
Cold Rolled Steel Channel ASTM A1008
Also known as cold-rolled channel (CRC), cold-rolled u-channel is strong, resilient, and provides increased yield strength and hardness qualities that hot-rolled steel does not possess.
Cold Rolled Steel Channel Applications
Cold rolled ASTM A1008 steel channel products are used for the following applications:
Drop ceilings
Structural bracing
Bridging
Supports
Framing designs
