Channel steel is a long strip of steel with a groove-shaped cross-section. It is a carbon structural steel used in construction and machinery. It is a profile steel with a complex cross-section and has a groove-shaped cross-section. Channel steel is mainly used in building structures, curtain wall engineering, mechanical equipment and vehicle manufacturing.
In use, it is required to have good welding, riveting performance and comprehensive mechanical properties. The raw material billets for producing channel steel are carbon steel or low alloy steel billets with a carbon content of no more than 0.25%. The finished channel steel is delivered in a hot-formed, normalized or hot-rolled state. The specifications are expressed in millimeters of waist height (h) * leg width (b) * waist thickness (d). For example, 100*48*5.3 means that the waist height is 100 mm, the leg width is 48 mm, and the waist thickness is 5.3 mm. Steel, or 10# channel steel. For channel steel with the same waist height, if there are several different leg widths and waist thicknesses, it is necessary to add a b c to the right of the model number to distinguish them, such as 25#a 25#b 25#c, etc.
Channel steel is divided into ordinary channel steel and light channel steel. The specifications of hot-rolled ordinary channel steel are 5-40#. The hot-rolled flexible channel steel specifications supplied by agreement between the supplier and the buyer are 6.5-30#. Channel steel is mainly used in building structures, vehicle manufacturing, other industrial structures and fixed panels. Channel steel is often used in conjunction with I-beams.
Channel steel can be divided into 4 types according to shape: cold-formed equal-edge channel steel, cold-formed unequal-edge channel steel, cold-formed inner curled channel steel, and cold-formed outer curled channel steel.
According to the theory of steel structure, the channel steel wing plate should bear the force, which means that the channel steel should be standing up instead of lying down.
