Engineering Channel Steel is a type of structural metal channel that supports buildings, walls, roofs, and ceilings. Its roll-formed shape can be tailored to specific needs, and it is used in a variety of applications.
J Steel Channel -- This type of steel channel is named for its J shape, which consists of a wider vertical web and two tapered flanges on either side. These channels are mainly used in construction and building framing.
C Steel Channels -- Another common form of metal channel, this one resembles the "U" shape. Its wide vertical web and two parallel flanges make it versatile for framing.
Z Steel Channels -- These channels are also called purlins and they can be used for a variety of different framing and support applications. They are commonly used in roof framing, but they can also be found in other types of structures and DIY projects.
Various Treatments for Steel Channels
There are a few treatments that can be applied to metal channels to give them a specific surface finish, or to protect them from the elements. The most common treatments are hot-dip galvanization and primer, both of which resist environmental corrosion.
Damage to Steel Elements
The capacity of steel elements to bear load and elongation is highly dependent on their damage. They are susceptible to tearing ruptures, corrosion, and sudden loads, all of which can weaken their structure. Luckily, the research presented in this paper can help predict the amount of damage that will affect their strength and elongation.
