ASTM A36 structural channels (C-channels) sind heiß-rolled carbon steel sections mit ein distinctive C-shaped cross-abschnitt, widely used für structural framing, fahrzeug frames, trailer construction, und industrial shelving. Available in standard AISC sizes von C3×4.1 zu C15×50. Der parallel flange design simplifies bolted connections zu beams, columns, und base plates. Als mit alle A36 products, excellent weldability und gut machinability bei economical kosten. Galvanizing ist recommended für exterior oder corrosive environments. Channels sind specified durch depth (inches), weight (lbs/ft), und length.

Frequently Asked Questions
Was ist der difference zwischen C-channel und MC-channel?
MC (Miscellaneous Channel) ist nicht ein A36 designation but refers zu channels produced zu verschieden dimensional standards—typically mit non-parallel flanges oder special web thicknesses, oft used in der automotive und trailer industry. C-channel follows AISC standard dimensions mit parallel flanges.
