Steel channels are a cylindrical-shaped product formed from plates or sheets via hot rolling. Hot-rolled steel channels are considered a structural shape. The structural channel has a vertical web and two horizontal flanges that make the letter C or U.
Compared to other structural shapes, channel steel is lightweight, while still providing strength. Some common applications for c-channels include shipbuilding, transportation, and general construction. Siskin Steel offers a comprehensive selection of steel channel sizes for any industry. Additional size options are available through our state-of-the-art processing services.
