U beam is a long steel section with a groove-shaped cross-section. It belongs to carbon structural steel for construction and machinery applications, classified as a complex-section structural steel with a groove-shaped profile.
U Channel steel is categorized into ordinary channel steel and light channel steel. Hot-rolled ordinary U channel steel is available in sizes ranging from 5 to 40#. Hot-rolled alternative channel steel supplied by mutual agreement between suppliers and buyers ranges from 6.5 to 30#. U Beam steel can be further classified into four types based on shape: cold-formed equal-flange U channel steel, cold-formed unequal-flange u channel steel, cold-formed inward-rolled-flange u channel steel, and cold-formed outward-rolled-flange u channel steel. Common material: Q235B. Standard: GB/T706-2016 Hot-Rolled Structural Steel
Advantages of U Channel Steel
1. High Strength: Channel steel exhibits excellent mechanical properties, particularly strong resistance to bending and torsion, making it widely used in construction and machinery manufacturing.
2. Complete Specifications: Channel steel offers a comprehensive range of specifications, including various shapes, dimensions, and thicknesses. Custom production is also available, ensuring broad applicability.
3. Convenient Usage: Channel steel is lightweight, easy to process, and simple to install. Its diverse processing methods facilitate the fabrication of various structural components.
4. Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Channel steel surfaces can undergo rustproofing and anti-corrosion treatments, providing superior corrosion resistance and extended service life.
Applications
U Channel steel is primarily used in engineering projects, factory construction, machinery installation, bridges, highways, residential buildings, etc. It offers excellent mechanical and physical properties while contributing to energy conservation and environmental protection.
1. Standard channel steel is mainly used in construction and vehicle manufacturing, often in conjunction with I-beams.
2. Light-duty channel steel features narrow flanges and thin walls, offering greater cost-effectiveness than standard hot-rolled channel steel. It is primarily used in construction and other applications demanding weight reduction.
3. Hot-dip galvanized channel steel is widely employed in construction (e.g., glass curtain walls, power transmission towers, communication grids, water/gas pipelines, electrical conduits, scaffolding, buildings), bridges, transportation; industry (e.g., chemical equipment, petroleum processing, marine exploration, metal structures, power transmission, shipbuilding); agriculture (e.g., sprinkler irrigation, greenhouses),
and other fields. In recent years, they have been extensively adopted. Due to their attractive appearance and excellent corrosion resistance, hot-dip galvanized products are finding increasingly broad applications.
