Bending Cold Thin-Walled C-Section Steel

C-section steel is a traditional production part, usually cold-formed. It has a wide and flat surface and also has flanges at right angles on both sides. The outer edge of C channel steel is clearly angled and has radius corners. The channel steel offers durability, and its broad and flat surface is perfect for attaching items and offering support. In its most widespread form, C channel steel is used to hold bridge decks and other heavy gadgets. This steel can absorb flex and other forces that can break more rigid I-beams and H-beams. Steel channel is a versatile product that is obtainable in various sizes and widths. Its cross-section is formed similar to a squared-off C, which has a straight back and two vertical branches on the top and bottom. Some varieties of C channel steel have short inward-facing edges to the end of the extensions, which makes the structure more tough. Other types of the channel have holes for bolting purposes. Compared to other structural steel products, C channel steel is thinner and insignificantly flexible.
