6m 9m 12m U Channel Steel Hot Rolled / Galvanized For Building Structures
Hot Rolled Channel Steel (U Channel) — Product Description
Product Overview
Hot rolled channel steel, also known as U channel or steel channel, is a structural steel section with a U-shaped or C-shaped cross-section. It is widely used in building structures, engineering, machinery manufacturing, and general fabrication. With excellent load-bearing capacity, good weldability, and versatile connection options, channel steel is one of the most commonly used structural materials in the steel industry.
Available in grades Q235B, SS400, A36, S235JR, and Q345B, our channel steel meets the requirements of various international standards including GB/T 706, JIS G3101, ASTM A36, and EN 10025.
