C-channel is a type of steel that is automatically processed and formed by a C-shaped steel forming machine. It features thin wall construction, light weight, excellent cross-sectional performance, and high strength. The production process involves hot rolled plate cold bending processing, making it highly versatile for various applications.
C-channel has wide applicability in construction, often used as purlins and wall beams in steel structure buildings. It can be flexibly combined into lightweight roof trusses, brackets, and other building components. In mechanical manufacturing, it's commonly used for columns, beams, and arms. Additional applications include automobile manufacturing and shipbuilding for shells, chassis, and structural components.

Channels are accurately and carefully cold formed to size from low carbon strip steel. The channel features a continuous slot with inturned edges, allowing secure attachments to framing members using hardened, toothed, grooved nuts that engage the inturned edges. These are specifically designed for mechanical and electrical support systems.
