Structural Steel Channel for Construction & Fabrication.

Channel, sometimes called channel iron or structural steel channel, is a rolled steel iron bar featuring a C or U shape. It consists of a wide web (broader side) and two perpendicular flanges (narrow sides) that join at right angles. The inside corners of the structural steel channel offer enhanced strength and rigidity while the channel shape offers superior structural support.

As your premier steel channel supplier, Texas Iron & Metal stocks all different sizes of both prime and surplus steel channel for sale, including standard, bar, and miscellaneous channels. Regardless of the structural load or application, we have the steel channel products for your project!

Benefits

Steel channel is a versatile product and the variations of shape, size, and web thickness help determine the use. For example, the larger the load, the greater the cross-section thickness and flanges size you will need. Other use considerations include applied force, weight carried, and degree of tension and compression. Other benefits of our steel channel products include:

  • low cost
  • high strength-to-weight ratio
  • corrosion resistance
  • and easy workability

These properties make it an ideal solution for a wide variety of applications and industries.
