Steel channels, such as those you can order on this company can be used in the construction of bridges, buildings as well as in the production of vehicles. Steel channels are generally made of flat steel plates that have been turned into a circular shape.
Steel channel production in the industrial sector involves three steps: stamping, welding and coating with powder.
In order to create channels of steel, an uncut sheet is shaped into a circular form with a die having an embossed pattern on its surface. The die is turned to form the desired cross sectional shape for the channel. The process creates an outline along both sides that can be observed even if it`s not coated with paint or any other substance.
The process of stamping also creates the two sides, which must be welded together to form one edge along each length. This edge is then ground to a smooth finish.
Channels that have been treated with heat may be stamped with an automated process. This allows for the production of large quantities of good quality channels for a low price. This process is similar to the manual process but utilizes high-temperature and pressure steam, instead of air which allows machines to operate for a long time, without interruption.

Steel channels have a range of advantages compared to other materials. Steel channels are easy to work with, flexible and lightweight. They`re perfect for applications where weight must be reduced, such as in the construction of homes. The channels made of steel are resistant to corrosion making them an ideal choice for outdoor applications.
Steel channels are heavy and difficult to transport which is one of the disadvantages of making use of them. They also cost a lot and may be difficult to set up correctly.
