MTC Structural Steel Channels are like other hollow sections, steel channel is rolled from steel sheet into C or U shapes. It consists of a wide "web" and two "flanges". The flanges could be parallel or tapered.

​

Steel channels are extensively used in a lot of applications. There are mainly three types of surface treatments to code with the conditions. Black or non-treatment is not frequently used for the steel will rust easily without any protective layers. Hot-dip galvanization and primer is the common treatments. Zinc coating resists environmental and weather corrosion, while primer does better. You can choose any kind according to your own application.

Advantages of using of MTC Structural Steel Beams in construction

​

• Steel constructions have a high level of dependability. Consistent and homogeneous qualities, superior quality control due to factory fabrication, high elasticity, and ductility are all factors for its reliability. When different specimens of a particular type of steel are tested in the lab for yield stress, ultimate strengths, and elongations, the variation is significantly less than with other materials such as concrete and wood. Due to the fact that steel is a homogeneous and elastic material, it meets the majority of the design formulae assumptions. This ensures that the findings obtained are accurate. Due to the heterogeneous material, cracking, and non-linearity of the stress-strain relationship, this may not be the case with concrete structures.

• Steel has a high strength per unit weight; therefore, the dead loads will be lower. It should be noted that dead loads make up a larger portion of total structure loads. There is less weight acting on the beneath parts as the dead load decreases; hence, they become even smaller. This is particularly important for long-span bridges, big buildings, and structures with deteriorating foundations.

• Steel follows Hooke's law for all stresses, large or small. Steel acts more like the design assumption than most other materials. The stress created remains proportional to the strain applied, resulting in a straight line on the stress-strain diagram. Steel sections do not break or tear before reaching their ultimate load; therefore, the moments of inertia of a steel structure may be calculated with certainty. For a reinforced concrete building, the moments of inertia obtained are quite ambiguous.

• The property of a material's ductility is its ability to withstand extensive deformation without failure under high tensile stresses. Mild steel is a supple and malleable metal. After a fracture, the percentage elongation of a conventional tension test specimen can be as high as 25% to 30%. In the event of overloads, this results in obvious deflections of signs of impending failure. To avoid collapse, the excess loads may be eliminated from the building. High-stress concentrations form at various sites in structural members under normal loads. Due to the ductile nature of structural steel, it can give locally at such points, spreading stresses and minimizing early failures.

• Steel is a fairly uniform and homogeneous material. As a result, it meets the basic assumptions of the majority of analysis and design formulas. Steel qualities do not vary much over time if properly maintained by painting, etc.; however, the properties of concrete in a reinforced concrete structure change significantly over time. As a result, steel structures are more long-lasting.

Applications of MTC Structural Steel Beams

​

MTC Structural Steel Channels are one of the most popular parts in construction and manufacturing. Apart from this, C channel & u channel are also used in our everyday life if you have so much attention to them like stair stringer. However, owing to its bending axis is not centered on the width of flanges, structural channel steel is not so strong as I beam or wide flange beam.

• Tracks & sliders for machines, doorways, etc..

• Posts and supports for building corners, walls & railings.

• Protective edges for walls.

• Decorative elements for constructions like ceiling channel system.

• Frames or framing material for construction, machines.
