A36 Hot Rolled Steel Channel - C9 x 15.0
This C9 x 15.0 Hot Rolled Steel Channel features a 9-inch depth and conforms to ASTM A36 specifications. It provides a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI, excellent weldability, and robust structural performance for load-bearing applications like frames and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 58,000-80,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Hot rolled channel, or C-channel, is a structural shape produced by passing heated steel through rollers, resulting in a rougher mill finish. A36 is a low-carbon steel grade offering an excellent balance of strength, ductility, and weldability. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a reliable 36,000 PSI minimum yield strength, making it the standard choice for general fabrication.
As a large structural shape, this 9-inch channel is ideal for heavy-duty applications, including building frames, industrial supports for heavy machinery, trailer chassis components, and primary members in structural framing where significant load-bearing capacity is required.

Target Users
Structural fabricators, welders, and heavy equipment manufacturers rely on A36 channel for its strength and ease of fabrication in projects 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 must be cleaned via grinding or sandblasting before painting or coating. For maximum corrosion resistance, it can be hot-dip galvanized. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Steel channel is measured by its Depth (A), Flange Width (B), and Web Thickness (C). The standard designation also includes weight per foot (e.g., C9 x 15.0).
Example: To order this channel, specify "A36 Channel, C9 x 15.0".
