Cold Rolling Steel Channels

Steel channels, including those can be purchased on a list of RollerDie's Steel Channels can be used to construct bridges, buildings and in the manufacture of vehicles. Steel channels are generally made from flat steel sheets that have been turned into a circular shape.

Industrial production of steel channels requires three processes including welding, stamping and coating with powder.

In order to form steel channels, first a flat sheet is stamped into a circular form with a die having an embossed pattern on the surface. The die is then rotated to form the desired cross-sectional design that the channel will take. This process leaves an outline along both sides, which can be observed when it is not covered with paint, or other substance.

The stamping process also produces 2 edges per side which are welded to create a single edge along each length. The edges are then ground to create a smooth finish.

Channels that have been treated with heat may be stamped using an automated procedure. This allows for the production of large quantity of high-quality channels with low cost. The process is comparable to the manual process but utilizes high-temperature and pressure steam instead of air, which in turn enables machines to work for a long time, without interruption.

What are the pros for Steel Channels?

Steel channels offer a variety of advantages when compared to other materials. Steel channels are easy to use, flexible and lightweight. They're perfect for applications where weight must be reduced, such as for residential construction. The channels made of steel are corrosion resistant, making them an excellent choice for outdoor applications.

What are the disadvantages for Steel Channels?

Steel channels are heavy and difficult to transport which is among the drawbacks of using them. They also cost a lot and can be difficult to install correctly.
