Most people easily confuse C-shaped steel with pressure rod channel steel, thinking that C-shaped steel is pressure rod channel steel. In fact, this is not the case. There are still some differences between them.
Conceptual difference: C-shaped steel is cold-formed from hot-rolled steel plates and has the characteristics of thin wall, light weight, good cross-sectional performance and high strength. Under the same strength conditions, it saves about 30% of material than conventional channel steel. Steel column channel is a hot-rolled product directly supplied by the steel factory. It is very thick and is a channel-shaped steel.
Different classifications: C-shaped steel can be divided into galvanized C-shaped steel, hot-dip galvanized cable tray C-shaped steel, unequal C-shaped steel, automobile profile C-shaped steel, etc., while channel steel can only be divided into: ordinary channel steel and light channel steel .
Purpose: Section steel has a wide range of applications and is suitable for purlins and wall beams of various steel structure buildings. It can also be assembled into lightweight roof trusses, brackets and other building components. Channel structures are widely used in building structures, automobile manufacturing and other industries, and are commonly used in conjunction with I-beams. Although both products can be used in the construction field, the methods of use are very different.
