High Tensile Stainless Steel Channel and beam Prices with Stock
Types of Stainless Steel Channels:
304 Stainless Steel Channel
316 Stainless Steel Channel
Duplex Stainless Steel Channel (2205, 2507)
Key Characteristics of Stainless Steel Channels:

• Excellent corrosion resistance - Resistant to oxidation, pitting, and crevice corrosion
• High strength-to-weight ratio - Good mechanical performance with relatively lightweight
• Easy fabrication - Can be conveniently cut, welded, bent into various structural configurations
• Hygienic design - Smooth surfaces and corrosion resistance make them suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary applications

Common Applications of Stainless Steel Channels:

• Food processing equipment frames and supports
• Pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing equipment
• Chemical plant structures and piping supports
• Architectural applications like handrails, staircases, shelving
• Marine and offshore structures, resistant to saltwater corrosion
• Framing for various industrial equipment and machinery

Material Selection Considerations:

1. 304 Stainless Steel Channel:

   • Most common and economical austenitic stainless steel
   • Good general corrosion resistance, suitable for many indoor and mild outdoor applications
   • Resists oxidation, foodstuffs, and common chemicals
   • Widely used in food processing, pharmaceutical, construction, and general industrial applications

2. 316 Stainless Steel Channel:

   • Austenitic stainless steel with higher molybdenum content
   • Provides enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially from chlorides
   • Performs better in marine, coastal, and chemically aggressive environments
   • Commonly used in food equipment, pharmaceutical facilities, chemical processing, and offshore applications

3. Duplex Stainless Steel Channels (2205, 2507):

   • Contain a balanced austenitic-ferritic microstructure
   • Offer very high strength, hardness, and toughness
   • Exceptional resistance to stress corrosion cracking
   • Excellent pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-containing environments
   • Widely used in marine, desalination, petrochemical, and other demanding applications
