A “steel channel” is a structural steel component shaped like a C with defined interior corners, typically made from hot-rolled mild steel, used in construction to provide support and rigidity in various applications like wall studs, roof framing, door frames, and vehicle frames due to its strength and ability to be easily welded and fabricated; essentially, it’s a C-shaped metal profile with specific dimensions designed for structural use.

Key points about steel channels:

• Shape: Resembles a C with flat flanges on either side and a web connecting them.
• Material: Usually made from hot-rolled mild steel.
• Applications:

Building frameworks: C-channels provide horizontal and vertical support for buildings

Walls, roofs, and ceilings: C-channels are used as supports for walls, roofs, and ceilings

C-channels are installed on the underside of tabletops to reinforce them and prevent warping and cupping

C-channels distribute weight evenly and enhance the durability of woodworking projects

Vehicle frames: C-channels are used to build vehicle frames, which improves fuel efficiency

Fluid regulation: C-channels can be used to regulate fluids in commercial and industrial settings

Wire and pipe protection: C-channels can protect wires and pipes from damage

• Benefits: Strong, versatile, easily welded, readily available in various sizes.
