-
Typically made from hot-rolled steel, often A36 grade, providing a balance of strength and cost-effectiveness.
-
The hot-dip galvanizing process involves submerging the steel channel in a bath of molten zinc, creating a durable and corrosion-resistant coating.
-
Designed to withstand the high voltage (33kV) used in power transmission and distribution systems.
-
Used as a structural support component, such as cross-arms, on power poles and towers to hold and secure electrical equipment and conductors.
-
The galvanized coating provides long-term protection against rust and corrosion, even in harsh outdoor environments.
-
The steel channel itself offers the necessary strength and rigidity to support the weight and forces associated with power lines and associated hardware.
-
Galvanized channel iron can be readily cut, machined, and welded using standard steel fabrication methods.
