Cold-Formed U Channel

Buy curved steel channel in Warsaw

Among the steel sheets, different profiles are made in a wide variety, among which a separate bend is occupied by a curved channel. Its purpose is to perceive significant loads that are evenly distributed in a well-chosen U-shape.

Important characteristics of the rolled metal bent channel bars

Depending on the manufacturing method, different types of bent profile are distinguished:

• By main and special purpose;
• By rolled under low temperatures;
• By rolled at high temperatures;
• By equal-toed bent;
• By unequal bent.

Each type of bent channel is produced on special machines, which accurately cut the product in size. The accuracy of the bent profile is divided into ordinary and high with the appropriate marking like “A” and “B”.

The main indicators can be identified as follows:

• Shelf and its width value;
• The value of the total height of the channel;
• Value of the radius of curvature;
• The depth of the wall.

The use of a curved channel is not going to decline due to the fact that it is possible to reduce the overall weight of the structure - this will result in a saving of about 30 percent of the total metal used. Each product has its own characteristics of height, width, thickness - they are installed according to the standard. The question is solved individually if you want to order a non-standard channel. Let`s focus on the process of the curved channel:

• Compatibility with other metal products;
• Lightweight;
• Bending pressure withstand;
• Great axial pressure is easily perceived;
• High accuracy;
• Lack of welding;
• Metal smoothness.

The process of production of the channel does not contain complex manipulations. A flat sheet is placed on the roll forming machine and is transformed into a bent product of the required shape. The method is convenient in that it is possible to take different types of metal for manufacturing, in particular, the steel of a structural, low-alloy or carbonaceous sample. The channel bent perfectly combines the two main indicators: simple installation and strength. Actual standards 8278-83 and 8281-80 are exhibited for the equal and unequal products. In the construction sphere, the curved channel can be the basis for the roof, frame, partitions, and also plays a role in the reconstruction of structures, in the installation of communications and other things. Even in the household, the bent profile can be useful, for example, for assembling the frame of greenhouses.
