Stainless Steel 316 Channel

Stainless Steel 316 Channel is the name of structural steel cross section that has a shape like the letter C; it has many applications including construction and manufacturing. The name 316 denotes the composition of alloys that include a percentage of 16-18 percent chromium, 10-14 percent nickel, and 2-3 percent molybdenum. This is in addition to increasing its corrosion and its oxidation resistance especially in environments rich in chlorides. The shape of the channel makes it strong and also supports it in multiple structural terms.

• Corrosion Resistance: Extraordinary resistant to corrosions particularly marine and chemical environment.
• Strength: Tensile strength of 515-690 Mpa thus being structurally sound.
• Weld Ability: weld ability is good, and it can be used in different methods of welding.
• Temperature Resistance: Is able to resist high temperatures and handle strength and stability well.
• Non-Magnetic: In the annealed state is generally non-magnetic, and can be used where non-magnetic metal is necessary.
• Formability: it can easily be formed and fabricated to suit particular design needs.
• Durability: Provides a good long life span with less maintenance.

The channel shape made of stainless steel 316 can be applied in many industries because of its strong components:

• Marine Industry: Applied in building of ship and offshore platforms infrastructure exposed to sea-water.
• Chemical Processing: It is used in the manufacturing of equipment and laboratory piping that works in the corrosive substances.
• Constructive: Applied in the fabrication of constructions, braces, and structural strength.
• Food Processing: Included in the production of food equipment that has to be hygienic to the utmost.
• Pharmaceuticals: applicable during the construction of clean rooms and devices which need high standards of cleanliness.
• Building applications: it has been used in interior decorations, and in building supports.

• 1. Red Binding Channel
• 2. Lower pressure to resist
• 3. Dynamometer cost to resist
• 4. Lab weight on steady rest
• 5. Cost of dynamometer to resist
• Increased Longevity: withstands adverse conditions and minimatizes replacement.
• High Corrosion Resistance: Best suited in marine and chemical process application.
• High Strength: Creates structural strength in harsh environment.
• Multi-functional: Applicable in variety of uses in various industries.
• Low Maintenance: Although it has low maintenance requirement, which saves it some money in the future.
• Aesthetic: Provides a contemporary modern look that is suitable to architectural purposes.

Stainless Steel 316 Channel is an ideal and strong material that fits most of the applications, especially in the area at risk of corrosive factors. It is reliable in producing superior structures with good corrosion resistance, strength, and weldability qualities hence its good usage in most industries like marine, chemical processing, construction and food processing. The choices of materials to be used in the constructions components should be made based on strength and the other benefits Stainless Steel 316 channel can bring to the project, and the service life of a construction project can be maximized.
