Performance Highlights
Tensile & Bending Strength
Stainless steel angle brackets made from Grade 316L achieve a tensile strength of ≥550 MPa, ideal for structural support in marine and coastal environments. Their high ductility (≥35% elongation) ensures resistance to deformation under dynamic loads, such as wave impacts or heavy machinery vibrations. For extreme chemical exposure, stainless steel angle braces in 904L alloy offer superior resistance to sulfuric acid and seawater corrosion, with tensile strength exceeding 490 MPa.
Identification & Marking
Each bracket is stamped or laser-etched with:
- Grade Markings (e.g., 304, 316L, 904L).
- Certification Codes (e.g., ASTM A554, EN 10088).
- Batch Numbers for full traceability (ISO 9001 compliance).
Weight Calculation
Calculate the weight of angle stainless steel brackets using:
Example: A 50×50×5 mm 304 bracket weighs .
Corrosion Resistance & Rust Prevention
While stainless steel angle brackets excel in harsh environments, rust risks arise from:
- Galvanic Corrosion: Direct contact with carbon steel or copper alloys in seawater. Insulate with nylon washers or coatings.
- Crevice Corrosion: Stagnant water in poorly designed slots. Opt for slotted stainless steel angle braces with rounded edges to improve drainage.
- Intergranular Attack: 430 grades exposed to 450–850°C may lose chromium. Use stabilized 316L/904L for welding applications.
