Industrial-Grade Stainless Steel U Channel | Customizable & Durable

​Product Specifications

​Key Technical Properties

​Tensile Strength

Stainless steel U channel exhibits exceptional tensile strength, ranging from ​520 MPa (304) to ​860 MPa (316L). This ensures resistance to deformation under heavy loads, making it ideal for industrial frameworks and machinery supports. The high chromium (18–20%) and nickel (8–12%) content in 304/316 grades enhances ductility while maintaining structural integrity.

​Bending Strength

Designed to withstand lateral forces, ​stainless steel U channel achieves bending strengths of ​180–350 MPa depending on alloy composition. Its symmetrical geometry distributes stress evenly, preventing fractures in applications like conveyor systems or ​stainless steel channel drain installations.

​Identification & Marking

Stainless steel channels follow global standards:

• ​ASTM A554: Laser-etched labels for grade (e.g., 304, 316) and batch number.
• ​EN Standards: Chemical composition markings (e.g., 1.4301 for 304).
• ​JIS Codes: Embossed symbols indicating thickness tolerance (e.g., SUS304).

​Weight Calculation Formula

Calculate weight (kg/m) for ​stainless steel U channel:
$\text{Weight}=\text{Thickness (mm)}\times \text{Width (mm)}\times \text{Length (m)}\times \text{Density (7.93 g/cm³)}$
Example: A 304-grade U channel (6m length, 100mm width, 5mm thickness) weighs:
$5\times 100\times 6\times 7.93=23.79\text{kg}$

​Why Stainless Steel Rusts?

While ​stainless steel U channel is corrosion-resistant, rust may occur under extreme conditions:

1. ​Chloride Exposure: Coastal or industrial environments with high salinity degrade the chromium oxide layer, leading to pitting.
2. ​Mechanical Damage: Scratches or abrasions expose raw metal to oxygen and moisture, triggering oxidation.
3. ​Low-Quality Alloys: Substandard grades (e.g., 201 with <10.5% chromium) lack sufficient corrosion resistance.
4. ​Electrochemical Reactions: Contact with carbon steel or iron debris creates galvanic corrosion.

Prevention Tips:

• Use 316-grade for coastal areas (molybdenum enhances chloride resistance).
• Apply protective coatings (e.g., PVDF) on ​stainless steel channel drain systems.
• Clean surfaces regularly to remove contaminants.
