Technical Highlights
Tensile & Bend Strength
304 stainless steel C channel excels in high-stress environments due to its stainless steel channel dimensions optimized for load distribution. With tensile strength ranging from 515-860 MPa, it outperforms carbon steel (370-550 MPa) and aluminium (270-310 MPa) in resisting deformation under tension. Bend strength is enhanced by its vertical web and 90-degree flanges, which minimize stress concentration points.
Identification & Marking
Channels are laser-etched with grade identifiers (e.g., 304, 316L) and stainless steel channel dimensions (height, width, thickness). Carbon steel channels use stamped codes (e.g., Q235, Q345), while aluminium channels feature anodized tags.
Weight Calculation
For 304 stainless steel C channel, weight is calculated using:
Where =height, =width, =thickness. Custom lengths up to 40' reduce waste and costs.
Corrosion Resistance & Rust Prevention
Though 304 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, localized rust can occur in chloride-rich environments (e.g., coastal areas). Stainless steel channel locks this risk through:
- Passivation: A chromium oxide layer forms to block oxygen diffusion.
- Smooth Bead-Blasted Finish: Minimizes crevices for corrosive agents.
- Grade Selection: 316L is recommended for harsh chemical/petrochemical applications.
