A36 Hot Rolled Steel Channel - C3 X 4.1
This C3 x 4.1 (3" height) Hot Rolled Steel Channel is a versatile structural shape conforming to ASTM A36. It provides 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
- 36,000 PSI Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled channel, often called C-channel, is a structural steel shape produced by passing heated steel through rollers. A36 steel is the standard grade for this product, offering an economical balance of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability for general structural purposes. It has a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, making it suitable for load-bearing applications where tight dimensional tolerances are not the primary requirement.
As a medium-sized profile, this 3-inch channel is perfectly suited for equipment bases, structural framing for machinery, trailer cross-members, and heavy-duty shelving supports. Its robust C-shaped profile provides good resistance to bending, making it a reliable choice for fabricators building durable assemblies and support structures.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, which may have a rough, bluish-grey scaled surface. For proper paint or powder coat adhesion, surface preparation like sandblasting or grinding is recommended. For maximum corrosion resistance in outdoor applications, it can be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Standard channel is measured by its Height (A), the overall vertical dimension, and its Weight per Foot. Flange width and web thickness are determined by the standard size designation.
Example: To order this channel, specify "A36 Channel, C3 x 4.1".
