Channel
MS Channel Steel refers to a type of structural steel with a "C" or channel-shaped cross-section. The term "MS" stands for Mild Steel, indicating that the steel is not alloyed with other metals and typically has a lower carbon content compared to other types of steel, making it more malleable and easier to weld.
Applications Uses
- Structural supports
- Frames for machinery
- Automotive

- Material: Made from mild steel, which has a relatively low carbon content, making it ductile and weldable.
- Cross-Section: The C-shape provides high resistance to bending and torsional stresses. The dimensions (width, height, and thickness) can vary based on specific applications.
- Grades: Available in different grades based on strength and ductility. Common grades include IS 2062 (E250, E300, E350).
- Dimensions: Typically available in a range of sizes, with standard lengths (like 6m, 12m), and dimensions often specified in millimeters (e.g., 75x40x5 mm).
- Weight: The weight per meter varies based on dimensions, which is essential for load calculations in construction.
- High strength-to-weight ratio: MS channels provide a good balance of strength and weight, making them ideal for structural support.
- Flexibility: Mild steel can be easily processed, welded, and formed into different shapes, providing flexibility in design.
- Corrosion Resistance: While mild steel doesn't have the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, it still offers sufficient durability when treated or coated properly for many applications.
