- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A36 hot rolled steel channel is a structural C-shape produced by passing heated steel through rollers, resulting in a rougher mill finish. This grade is the industry standard for general construction and fabrication, offering a versatile balance of strength, ductility, and superior weldability. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a reliable foundation for load-bearing structures where precise tolerances are not the primary requirement.
As a large-profile channel, the C15 x 40 is engineered for significant structural loads. It is commonly used for main frame rails on heavy trailers, support beams in building construction, bases for industrial machinery, and large-scale fabrication projects requiring substantial bending resistance.

For enhanced corrosion resistance, it can be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Structural channel is designated by its height (A) and weight per foot. A "C15 x 40" is 15 inches tall and weighs 40 pounds per foot. Flange width (B) and web thickness (C) are standard for this designation.
Example: To order this channel, specify "A36 C-Channel, C15 x 40 x 20 ft length".
