Steel channels, including the ones you can order at roller die + forming can be used in the construction of steel buildings, bridges and in the manufacture of vehicles. Steel channels are generally made from flat steel plates that have been turned into a circular shape.

The production of steel channels in industry requires three steps that include welding, stamping, as well as powder coating.

In order to create channels of steel, an uncut sheet is shaped into a circular shape by with a die having an embossed design on the surface. The die is then rotated to form the cross-sectional design for the channel. This leaves the pattern on both sides of the channel which is visible when it isn't coated with paint or any other substance.

The process also generates two edges on each side which need to be joined to form a single edge across all the way down the entire channel. The edges are then ground to a smooth finish.

The channels that are treated with heat can be stamped with an automated procedure. This enables production of large amounts of quality channels with low cost. The process is comparable to the manual method, however it utilizes high-temperature and pressure steam, instead of air which allows the stamping machine to operate for a long time, without interruption.
