Open Die Channel
C-Channel
Open-die C-channels are essential structural components widely utilized in construction, infrastructure, and industrial applications. Manufactured through the open die forging process, these channels are shaped by heating metal between flat dies, allowing for flexibility and strength. The resulting C-shaped cross-section features a vertical web and two flanges, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and structural integrity.
Industries Commonly Using Open Die C-Channels:
- Construction: Integral in building frameworks, supports, and bracing systems.
- Manufacturing: Used in machinery, equipment assembly, and conveyor systems.
- Energy: Commonly found in energy facilities, providing necessary structural support.
- Infrastructure: Widely employed in railways, highways, and other critical infrastructure projects.
