Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Bar Channel
While hot-rolled carbon steel bar channel shares a similar shape to standard C-channel, they are generally smaller and more suitable for lighter-duty applications that require moderate load bearing.
Triple-S Steel® stocks bar channel made from general-purpose carbon steel in lengths up to 20 feet:
ASTM A36: Low-carbon A36 is one of the most common structural steels used in construction applications. It is easy to source and process to specifications.
- 58 to 80 ksi tensile strength
- 36 ksi minimum yield strength
- Cost-effective compared to higher-grades of carbon steel
- Outstanding welding and machining characteristics
A36 steel bar channel is strong enough to handle most load-bearing applications that don’t require extreme strength. Their smaller size also makes them an excellent choice for structural support where space is a concern. The mechanical and physical properties of A36 bar channel make them ideal for drilling, cutting, and welding, which means easier mounting and joining than other carbon-steel grades or shapes.
Also Available in The Following Shapes:
