Since carbon steel is the most widely used in construction, most users will think that channel steel is only made of carbon steel. But this is not the case. In addition to carbon steel, channel steel also has stainless steel.

This article will let Baowu take you to understand.

In construction, the most common channel steel is carbon structural steel, also known as low carbon steel. Channel steel is a long strip of steel with a groove-shaped cross-section. It is a carbon structural steel for construction and machinery. It is a section steel with a complex cross-section. Channel steel is mainly used in building structure, curtain wall engineering, mechanical equipment and vehicle manufacturing.

The application of channel steel requires good welding, riveting performance and comprehensive mechanical properties. The raw material for producing channel steel is carbon-structured steel or low-alloy steel with a carbon content not exceeding 0.25%. The hot-worked finished channel can be formed in normalized or hot-rolled state.

In addition, channel steel is divided into ordinary channel steel and light channel steel. The specification of hot-rolled ordinary channel steel is 5-40#. The specification of hot-rolled flexible channel steel supplied by agreement between the supplier and the buyer is 6.5-30#. Channel steel is mainly used in building structures, vehicle manufacturing, other industrial structures and fixed cabinets, etc. Channel steel is often used in conjunction with I-beam steel.

Channel steel can be divided into 4 types according to shape: cold-formed equilateral channel steel, cold-formed unequal-sided channel steel, cold-formed inner-curled channel steel, and cold-formed outer-curved channel steel.

Channel steel is mainly used in building structures, vehicle manufacturing and other industrial structures, and channel steel is often used in conjunction with I-beam. According to the theory of steel structure, the channel steel wing plate should be stressed, that is to say, the channel steel should be standing, not lying down.

Although the channel steel is not only made of carbon steel, the channel steel is still mainly made of carbon steel in construction applications.

The above is the relevant content of channel steel. If you want to know more, please pay attention to Baowu at any time.
