A36 Hot Rolled Steel Channel - C8 x 18.75 x 20'
This C8 x 18.75 A36 hot rolled steel channel provides an 8" depth for substantial structural support. Conforming to ASTM A36, it delivers a minimum 36,000 PSI yield strength and excellent weldability, making it ideal for frames, braces, and trailer manufacturing. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled channel is a structural carbon steel shape with a C-shaped cross-section, produced by passing heated steel through rollers. This process gives it a rough mill scale finish and slightly rounded corners. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a balance of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability for general structural and fabrication purposes where tight tolerances are not critical.
As a large profile channel, the C8 x 18.75 is engineered for heavy-duty applications. Its 8-inch depth provides significant resistance to bending and flex, making it a reliable choice for heavy structural framing, building frames, industrial supports, and the main chassis components for large trailers and vehicles.
