Manufacturing technology
The production of such rolled metal is a technological process that requires precise adherence to parameters and the use of modern equipment. The choice of steel grade depending on the required characteristics of the finished profile is an important step. The process of creating a channel begins with heating the steel material and rolling it to the desired shape. The blank is then bent according to the design. Under pressure, special rollers give the sheet a U-shape, resulting in a channel. Bending accuracy is ensured by computer control of the machine.
Checking the geometric parameters of the profile for compliance with GOST is the next step. Afterwards, a visual inspection is carried out for the presence of surface defects and the mechanical properties of the material are checked. The finished profile is cut into pieces of the required length. Steel channels packed in bundles are sent to the warehouse or directly to the customer.
Main types and characteristics
There are several types of bent steel channel, including U- and L-shaped models. They vary in shape, thickness and bending angle. These characteristics influence the strength and suitability of the product for a variety of construction and engineering applications. By choosing the appropriate type, you can ensure the desired performance properties:
- Shelf width: ranging from 40 to 200 mm. Wide shelves provide greater stability.
- Wall thickness: from 3 to 12 mm. Thicker walls increase strength.
- Height: from 60 to 250 mm. Height affects the ability to withstand loads.
- Length: usually from 6 to 12 meters, but there may be other sizes depending on needs.
U-shaped channel, similar to the letter "U", is ideal for creating strong frames and supports as it provides excellent strength. The L-shaped type forms a 90-degree angle and is used to reinforce corners. Z-channel helps distribute loads in multiple directions, an excellent choice for suspended systems and structures with variable loads.
Why choose bent steel channel
Such rolled metal is guaranteed strength and reliability. Thanks to their unique design, the products can withstand the most powerful loads, making the structures safe and durable.
Whether you are constructing a building, creating mechanical engineering structures or designing marine vessels, bent channels are ideal for any application. This is a universal solution that saves time and money. The products require a minimum amount of material for production, which can significantly reduce costs. It is a cost-effective choice without compromising on quality.
Standard sizes and shapes of channels facilitate installation, which speeds up the construction process and reduces installation costs. The special coating ensures durability and corrosion resistance.
