A36 Hot Rolled Steel Channel - C8 x 11.5 x 20'
This C8 x 11.5 Hot Rolled Steel Channel is a structural C-shape manufactured to ASTM A36 specifications. It provides a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI with excellent weldability and formability, making it a versatile choice for frames, braces, and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
A36 hot rolled channel is a low-carbon structural steel shape produced by passing heated steel through rollers, resulting in a rougher surface finish. This C8 x 11.5 channel conforms to ASTM A36 standards, offering a balance of strength, ductility, and exceptional weldability for general structural and fabrication purposes where tight tolerances are not the primary requirement.
As a large structural shape, this 8-inch deep channel is ideal for heavy structural applications, building frames, trailer manufacturing, and industrial equipment bases where significant load-bearing capacity and rigidity are essential for safety and performance.

Target Users
Structural engineers, fabricators, and trailer manufacturers rely on A36 channel for its predictable performance and weldability in structural applications throughout the Los Angeles area.
Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a rougher, scaled surface. This surface should be removed by grinding or sandblasting for proper paint or powder coat adhesion. For outdoor use, galvanizing is recommended. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
A structural channel is measured by its Depth (A - the height of the web), Flange Width (B), and Web Thickness (C). It is commonly specified by its depth and weight per foot, such as C8 x 11.5.
Example: To order this channel, specify "A36 Hot Rolled Channel, C8 x 11.5 x 20' length".
