Channel
Channel
Mild Steel (MS) channel is a structural steel product characterized by its "C" or "U" shaped cross-section. It is commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and engineering applications for its strength and versatility.
Up to 0.25%, which provides good ductility and weldability. Enhances strength and toughness. Improves flexibility and overall performance. The primary component, ensuring structural integrity. Steel billets are heated and processed through a rolling mill. The heated billets are shaped into channel sections through a series of rollers. The channels are cooled to achieve desired mechanical properties. Edges may be smoothed, and surface treatments can be applied for corrosion resistance.
Sizes and Standards
Dimensions
Available in various sizes, with common depths ranging from 50 mm to 300 mm and flange widths typically from 30 mm to 100 mm.
Thickness
Wall thickness usually ranges from 3 mm to 10 mm.
Length
Standard lengths are usually around 6 meters, but custom lengths can be ordered.
Standards
Manufactured to meet various national and international standards, including ASTM and IS.
MS channel is a fundamental component in construction and manufacturing, valued for its strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. Understanding its properties and applications can help in selecting the right type for specific project requirements, especially in structural and support applications.
