Channel steel, with its "["-shaped cross-section, is known for its high strength, easy processing, and wide range of applications, making it an ideal choice for industries such as construction, bridges, and machinery manufacturing. Whether you're a professional engineer or a DIY enthusiast, channel steel offers an economical and high-performance solution for your needs.

1. Channel Steel Specifications, Materials, and Sizes

Channel steel comes in a variety of specifications, with common sizes including:

• Height: 50mm to 400mm (e.g., 50×37mm, 100×48mm, 200×73mm).
• Flange Width: 37mm to 100mm.
• Web Thickness: 4.5mm to 14mm.
• Length: Typically 6 meters or 12 meters, but customizable to meet specific requirements.

Materials:

• Q235B: Ordinary carbon structural steel, suitable for general construction and machinery manufacturing.
• Q345B: High-strength low-alloy steel, ideal for high-strength applications like bridges and heavy equipment.
• Stainless Steel: Such as 304 stainless steel, suitable for corrosion-resistant environments like food and medical industries.

Weight Calculation Formula:
Weight of channel steel (kg/m) = 0.00785 × web thickness × (height + flange width - web thickness)
Example: Weight of 100×48×5.3mm channel steel = 0.00785 × 5.3 × (100 + 48 - 5.3) = 10.0 kg/m.

2. Channel Steel Production Process and Workflow

1. Hot Rolling ProcessSteel billets are heated to high temperatures and formed into channel steel through rolling mills.Hot-rolled channel steel has a slightly rough surface but high strength, making it suitable for general structural purposes.
2. Cold Bending ProcessHot-rolled channel steel is further processed at room temperature to improve dimensional accuracy and surface finish.Cold-bent channel steel is ideal for precision machinery parts and high-precision installations.
3. Surface TreatmentGalvanizing: Enhances rust resistance, suitable for outdoor environments.Painting: Improves aesthetics, ideal for decorative purposes.Polishing: Increases surface smoothness, suitable for food and medical equipment.
