C CHANNEL

Description

C Channel is a structural steel component shaped like the letter “C,” widely used in construction, manufacturing, and fabrication for support and framing applications.

Key Features:
Material: Typically made from carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum.

Shape: A long, straight profile with one flat web and two perpendicular flanges on one side, forming a “C” shape.

Sizes & Dimensions: Available in various heights, flange widths, and thicknesses to suit different load requirements.

Finish: Can come in plain steel, galvanized (for corrosion resistance), painted, or powder-coated.

Strength: Provides excellent strength and rigidity with a relatively low weight.

Versatility: Can be cut, drilled, welded, and bolted for custom fabrication.

Common Applications:
Structural framing and support in buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities.

Manufacturing machinery frames and equipment bases.

Vehicle chassis and trailer frames.

Cable trays, racks, and shelving systems.

Support beams for walls, roofs, and floors.

Reinforcement and bracing in construction projects.

Benefits:
Strong & Lightweight: Offers high strength-to-weight ratio, making it efficient for structural use.

Easy to Work With: Simple shape allows for quick fabrication and assembly.

Corrosion Resistance: Available in galvanized or stainless steel versions for harsh environments.

Cost-Effective: Economical compared to other structural steel shapes like I-beams.
