A36 Hot Rolled Steel Channel - C3 x 5.0 (3")
This A36 Hot Rolled Steel Channel measures 3" in height (C3 x 5.0) and conforms to ASTM A36 specifications. It provides a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and excellent weldability, making it a reliable choice for structural frames and general fabrication. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled channel is a low-carbon structural steel shape produced by passing heated steel through rollers. This process gives it a rougher surface finish and slightly rounded corners. Its A36 grade signifies a versatile material with a balanced combination of strength, ductility, and exceptional weldability, making it a foundational component for countless fabrication projects that don't require tight dimensional tolerances.
As a medium-sized profile, this 3-inch channel is perfectly suited for applications requiring moderate load-bearing capacity. It is commonly used for equipment frames, structural cross-members in light construction, trailer frames, and robust support brackets where stiffness and weldability are key design factors.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a dark, scaled surface. This surface must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or pickling before painting or powder coating for proper adhesion. For maximum 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 measured by its Height (the longest dimension of the web, A), its Flange Width (B), and its Web Thickness (C). It is commonly ordered by its height and weight-per-foot designation.
Example: To order this channel, specify "A36 Steel Channel, C3 x 5.0".
