A36 Hot Rolled Steel Channel - C3 X 6.0
This C3x6.0 A36 Hot Rolled Steel Channel is a versatile structural shape for general fabrication. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and excellent weldability, ideal for frames, braces, and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel channel is produced by passing heated steel through rollers, resulting in a rougher mill finish and slightly rounded corners. This process ensures compliance with ASTM A36 standards, guaranteeing a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI. The material's low carbon content provides a balance of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability for general structural and fabrication purposes.
As a medium-sized profile, the C3x6.0 channel is frequently used for equipment bases, structural framing for skids and platforms, cross-members in trailer frames, and robust shelving systems where moderate load-bearing capacity and rigidity are required.
