C-Section Steel

C-section steel is a type of cold-formed steel with a “C”-shaped cross-section, manufactured by cold bending hot-rolled steel coils. It features thin walls, light weight, and excellent section properties.​​

✔ ​Lightweight & Easy Installation: 30% lighter than traditional channel steel, suitable for rapid on-site assembly.
✔ ​High Strength & Stability: Good bending resistance, capable of bearing significant loads without deformation.
✔ ​Wide Applications: Used in building, machinery, and transportation industries for constructing purlins, brackets, and support structures.

Main Applications

🏗️ ​Construction: Roof purlins, wall beams, and support frames for light steel structures.
⚙️ ​Manufacturing: Equipment supports, conveyor frames, and automotive components.
🚧 ​Engineering: Bridge supports, tunnel linings, and temporary structures.

The specification representation method of C-section steel: ​C (Height × Leg Width × Flange Width × Thickness)​​ (e.g., C80×40×20×2.5).

  • C: Represents the C-section steel shape.
  • Height (H)​: The vertical height of the C-section (e.g., 80mm in C80).
  • Leg Width (B)​: The width of the horizontal legs (e.g., 40mm in C80×40×20×2.5).
  • Flange Width (C)​: The width of the flange (horizontal extension) (e.g., 20mm in C80×40×20×2.5).
  • Thickness (t)​: The thickness of the steel (e.g., 2.5mm in C80×40×20×2.5).

Example: C100×50×20×3 means:

  • Height (H) = 100mm, Leg Width (B) = 50mm, Flange Width (C) = 20mm, Thickness (t) = 3mm.
