A36 Hot Rolled Steel Channel - C12 x 20.7
A C12 x 20.7 hot rolled steel channel providing robust structural support for heavy-duty applications. Conforming to ASTM A36, this 12-inch deep channel has a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and excellent weldability, making it ideal for frames, braces, and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled A36 steel channel is produced by passing heated steel through rollers, resulting in a C-shaped profile with slightly rounded corners. This C12 x 20.7 channel meets ASTM A36 standards, offering a balance of strength, ductility, and exceptional weldability. Its minimum 36,000 PSI yield strength makes it a reliable and economical choice for general structural and fabrication purposes.
As a large structural shape, the 12-inch depth of this channel is ideal for heavy structural applications, building frames, industrial supports, and the main chassis components for heavy-duty trailers and equipment, providing significant resistance to bending and torsional forces.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a rougher, scaled surface. This scale should be removed by grinding or blasting before painting or coating for proper adhesion. For enhanced corrosion resistance in outdoor applications, it can be hot-dip galvanized. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Structural channel is designated by its shape ('C'), nominal depth in inches, and weight in pounds per foot. Flange width and web thickness are standard for each designation.
Example: To order this channel, specify "A36 Channel, C12 x 20.7".
