Steel channels, like the ones you can purchase at Roller Die + Forming can be used in the construction of steel buildings, bridges as well as in the production of vehicles. Steel channels are usually made of flat steel plates that have been rolled into a round shape.
Steel channel production in the industrial sector involves three steps that include welding, stamping, as well as powder coating.
To form steel channels, first an uncut sheet is shaped into a circular shape by with a die having an embossed pattern on its surface. The die is then rotated to create the desired cross-sectional design for the channel. The process creates an outline on both sides of the channel that is visible even if it`s not covered with paint, or any other substance.
The process also generates the two sides, which need to be joined to form one edge along the length of the channel. This edge is then ground to a smooth finish.
Heat treated channels may also be stamped with an automated method. This allows the production of huge quantity of high-quality channels with low cost. The process is similar to manual processes, but makes use of high-temperature and high pressure steam, instead of air which allows the stamping machine to work all the time without interruption.
