Overview|Specifications|Applications|Finish Options|How to Measure|Order Checklist

A36 Hot Rolled Channel, also known as C-channel, is a low-carbon structural steel produced by passing heated steel through rollers. This process gives it a rougher surface finish and slightly rounded corners. Conforming to ASTM A36 standards, this material combines strength, ductility, and excellent weldability, making it a reliable and economical choice for a wide range of structural and fabrication projects.

As a small-sized profile, this 1" x 1/2" channel is well-suited for light-duty applications. It is commonly used for equipment guards, trim, light framing, mounting brackets for signs and fixtures, and as structural components in utility trailers and industrial carts where moderate strength is required.

Specifications

  • Material: A36 Hot Rolled Steel
  • Standards: ASTM A36
  • Strength/Tensile: 58,000-80,000 PSI (Tensile) / 36,000 PSI (Min. Yield)
  • Dimensions: 1" Width x 1/2" Height x 1/8" Thickness x 20' Length
  • Finish: Hot Rolled Mill Finish
  • Certifications: Mill Test Report (MTR) Available

Applications

  • Equipment Manufacturing: Light-duty frames and supports - easy to weld and fabricate into machine bases.
  • Trailer & Vehicle: Chassis cross-members and brackets - good strength for utility trailer components.
  • General Fabrication: Mounting brackets and braces - versatile profile for custom structural connections.
  • Safety & Protection: Equipment guards and light-duty barriers - provides durable protection in industrial settings.

Target Users

Fabricators, welders, and equipment manufacturers rely on A36 Hot Rolled Channel for its consistent properties and ease of use in structural applications throughout the Los Angeles area.

Finish Options

This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, which includes a dark, rough mill scale on the surface. For proper paint or powder coat adhesion, this scale should be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or pickling. For outdoor applications requiring maximum corrosion resistance, it can be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.

How to Measure

Steel Channel is measured by its Width (A), Height (B), and web Thickness (C). Measure the outside width of the 'back', the outside height of the 'legs', and the thickness of the material.

Example: To order this channel, specify "A36 Channel, 1" x 1/2" x 1/8" x 20-foot length".

Order Checklist

  • Product name and required dimensions (1" x 1/2" x 1/8" x 20')
  • Material specification and quantity
  • Confirm grade (A36) meets requirements
  • Surface finish requirements (Hot Rolled Mill Finish)
