Channel steel is a carbon structural steel for construction and machinery. Channel steel is a section steel with a complex cross-section, and its cross-sectional shape is a groove shape. Channel steel is mainly used in building structure, curtain wall engineering, mechanical equipment and vehicle manufacturing. In use, it is required to have good welding, riveting performance and comprehensive mechanical properties.
The finished channel steel is delivered after hot forming, normalizing or hot rolling. Channel steel is divided into ordinary channel steel and light channel steel. Channel steel is divided into 4 types according to its shape: cold-formed equal-side channel steel, cold-formed unequal-side channel steel, cold-formed inner-coiled channel steel, and cold-formed outer-coiled channel steel.
