C-Shaped Steel

C-shaped steel, also referred to as channel steel or C-channel, is a structural steel that makes use of a cross-section designed like the letter "C". It is a popular choice in construction and engineering for a variety of purposes due to its strength-to-weight ratio and versatility.

Product Description

C-shaped steel," also known as "channel steel" or "U-section steel," is a type of steel with a shape resembling the letter "C" or "U" when viewed from the top. C-shaped steel has a horizontal section on top and two parallel sections below, forming a shape similar to the letter "C."

 

C-channel steel is a shape of steel section with a C-shaped cross-section, given by a vertical web and two horizontal parallel flanges that extend to only one side of the web. The result is a shape similar to a capital letter C, but with 90-degree corners where the flanges meet the web. Steel C-channel is often used where the design needs the steel section to have one completely flat side, for example where the web is welded to a wall or other flat surface. Two steel C-channels can also be welded back to back, although it’s more common to specify I-shaped channel for this purpose.

 

Light weight, high strength, bright color, flexible and convenient installation, excellent cross-sectional performance, durable. It can be used as beams, columns, frames, beams, tie bars, etc. of steel structures.


It is made by cold bending of hot rolled plates. C-shaped steel has thin walls and light weight, excellent cross-sectional performance, and high strength. Compared with traditional channel steel, it can save 30% of materials with the same strength. C-shaped steel is a purlin and wall beam widely used in steel structure buildings. It can also be combined into lightweight roof trusses, brackets and other building components. In addition, it can also be used for columns, beams and arms in mechanical light industry manufacturing. It is widely used in steel structure workshops and steel structure projects and is a commonly used construction steel.
