Steel A1011-Hot Rolled Channel 1-1/4" x 1-7/16" x 0.1196" Retail Price

About A1011|ASTM A1011 covers hot-rolled carbon steel sheet and strip. The hot-rolled counterpart to A1008. Comes with mill scale and wider thickness tolerances than cold-rolled. Cheaper than cold-rolled for applications where surface finish and tight dimensions aren't critical. Used for structural fabrication, general sheet metal work, and any application where the part gets painted or coated. Compare to A1008 (cold-rolled, better surface, tighter tolerances) and A36 (structural plate, similar chemistry).

About Channel|A C-shaped structural profile used for frames, supports, and machine bases. Like angle, it's primarily a fabrication product that gets cut and welded rather than precision machined.
