    Multipurpose Low-Carbon Steel U-Channels

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Multipurpose Low-Carbon Steel U-Channels.
    Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It can also be surface-hardened with heat treatment.
    C-Channel—C-channels are stronger than U-channels. They have thicker legs, and their tapered design distributes loads more evenly. They’re often used for structural purposes such as frames and supports.
    U-Channel Trade Size—The U-channel trade size indicates the channel’s outside width and weight in lbs./ft. This gives you an easy reference for selecting the right size and strength for your needs.

    These U-channels are treated for good corrosion resistance. Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine and form.
    C-Channel—C-channels are stronger than U-channels. They have thicker legs, and their tapered design distributes loads more evenly. They’re often used for structural purposes such as frames and supports.
    U-Channel Trade Size—The U-channel trade size indicates the channel’s outside width and weight in lbs./ft. This gives you an easy reference for selecting the right size and strength for your needs.
