How Do Cold Rolled Steel Channels Work?How Do Cold Rolled Steel Channels Work?
Steel channels, including the ones that you can order on this company They are utilized in the construction of bridges, buildings and in the manufacture of vehicles. Steel channels are usually made of flat steel plates that have been turned into a round shape.
Steel channel production in the industrial sector requires three processes: stamping, welding and powder coating.
In order to create steel channels, first a flat sheet is stamped into a circular shape by with a die having an embossed design on the surface. The die is then rotated to form the desired cross-sectional shape for the channel. This leaves a pattern on both sides of the channel which is visible when it is not covered with paint, or other material.
The stamping process also produces two edges on each side which are welded to form a single edge across each length. The edge is then sanded to give a smooth surface.
Heat treated channels may also be stamped using an automated procedure. This allows the production of huge quantities of good quality channels at low costs. This process is similar to the manual process but uses high temperature and pressure steam instead of air which in turn enables the stamping machine to work continuously without interruption.
