Structural Shapes

Structural shapes for carbon steel, such as angle, beam, tee, and channel, are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries where a strong and durable material is required for supporting loads and forces. They can be used in a variety of applications, including building frames, bridges, and other structures.

Cold rolled angle is made from cooled, flat sheets of steel that have been processed through a series of rollers to achieve a precise dimensional tolerance and smooth surface finish. Hot rolled angle is made from heated, flat sheets of steel that have been processed through a series of rollers to achieve a rough surface finish. Cold rolled angle tends to be more precise and has a smoother finish than hot rolled angle.

Galvanized angle is angle that has been coated with a layer of zinc to protect the steel against corrosion. It is commonly used in outdoor and marine applications where exposure to the elements is a concern. Galvanized angle is also used in construction and other industries where corrosion resistance is important.

Hot rolled beam is made from heated, flat sheets of steel that have been processed through a series of rollers to achieve a rough surface finish. Cold rolled beam is made from cooled, flat sheets of steel that have been processed through a series of rollers to achieve a precise dimensional tolerance and smooth surface finish. Hot rolled beam tends to be less precise and has a rougher finish than cold rolled beam.

Hot rolled tee is a type of carbon steel that is shaped like a letter “T” and used in construction and other structural applications.
