- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
A36 hot rolled channel is a carbon structural steel shape produced by passing heated steel through rollers, giving it a rougher surface finish. This C4 x 5.4 channel conforms to ASTM A36 standards, ensuring a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI. Its low carbon content provides a balance of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability for general structural purposes.
As a large structural shape, the 4" height provides significant resistance to bending, making it ideal for heavy structural applications, building frames, trailer chassis, and industrial equipment supports where strength and rigidity are primary requirements.
