U - Channel is a kind of cold-formed thin-walled steel section with a "U" -shaped cross-section. It is made by subjecting steel strips or plates to the cold-forming process. Generally, it consists of two parallel flanges and a web connecting them. The flanges are mainly used to bear compressive forces, while the web is used to resist transverse forces such as shear forces.
Ordinary carbon structural steel (Q235): Good strength and toughness with a yield strength around 235 MPa. It is cost-effective and widely used in construction.
Low-alloy high-strength structural steel (Q345): Higher yield strength (345 MPa) with excellent toughness, welding performance, and corrosion resistance for high-load requirements.
