Our Roll Formed Shapes and Products

Iron and Steel Angles can be produced through both the hot rolling and cold rolling processes.Hot rolling is the process of rolling steel in a heated state, whereas cold rolling is a method used to roll steel into a shape without adding process heat. Roll formed angles are a versatile and low-cost material that can serve a wide variety of applications.

Butt Seam Tubing is a type of roll formed steel tubing that is characterized by the joining of the two edges of the tube by welding them on the same plane without overlap. This type of tubing offers excellent structural strength and can be produced in a variety of shapes and gauges to fit a number of uses.

C channels are a type of structural channel that can be produced during the roll forming process. Characterized by having a wide web with two flanges on the top and bottom, C channels are often used in a variety of construction applications to provide support to a structure. Able to be roll formed into a wide variety of shapes and sizes, C channels can be made to fit any specifications.

Hat channels are a type of roll formed channel that is characterized by having two vertical flanges and two horizontal flanges that provide them with a hat-like profile. A popular component used for furring applications, hat channels are often used by residential and commercial builders to fur out uneven masonry, walls, and ceilings during construction and renovations.

Unlike welded tubing, lock seam tubing features a seam that is held together by the mechanical force of two overlapping edges that have been folded together. Lock seam round tubing can be made from almost any ductile material and can be roll formed to meet a wide variety of light gauge, non-load bearing applications.

As one of the largest manufacturers of roll formed lock seam tubing in the United States, Samson has the capabilities to roll form lock seam tubing in a variety of shapes. Thanks to the advantages that the roll forming process affords, Samson is also capable of producing lock seam square tubing for an even greater number of light gauge applications.

Able to be roll formed from any type of metal, and featuring a gap that runs along the length of the tube, open seam tubing is a type of roll formed tubing that has not been joined at the edges. Open seam tube can be roll formed into a wide variety of specialized shapes, and can be manufactured with flanged, finned, or even hemmed edges.

U and J channels are two types of roll formed channel similar to C channels. Distinguishable by the lack of flanged edges, U channels have symmetrical legs while J channels are formed with one leg that is longer than the other, giving them a cross section a U and J shape respectively. U and J channels are often used in a variety of decorative and structural applications.
