Product Description

Overview

304 stainless steel channel steel is a long steel strip with a grooved cross section, similar to stainless steel I-beam. Stainless steel channel steel is divided into ordinary channel steel and light channel steel. The model and specification are expressed as waist height (h) × leg width (b) × waist thickness (d), in millimeters. Its specification expression method, such as 120*53*5, means a channel steel with a waist height of 120 mm, a leg width of 53 mm, and a waist thickness of 5 mm, or 12# channel steel. Channel steels with the same waist height, if there are several different leg widths and waist thicknesses, also need to add a b c to the right of the model to distinguish them, such as 25a# 25b# 25c#, etc.

Application Scope

Stainless steel channel steel is mainly used in building structures, vehicle manufacturing and other industrial structures. Channel steel is also often used in conjunction with I-beams.

Hot-rolled stainless steel ordinary channel steel (GB707-88): Mainly used for building structures, vehicle manufacturing and other industrial structures, often used in conjunction with I-beams.

Hot-rolled stainless steel light channel steel (YB164-63): A steel with wide legs and thin walls, providing better economic effects than ordinary hot-rolled channel steel. Specifications range from 5-40#.

The 1966 Metallurgical Standard stipulates that the specification range is from 10-40#. Main uses: for buildings and steel frame structures, etc.

Features

Stainless steel channel steel has good corrosion resistance, can resist the erosion of most chemical substances, and is suitable for various harsh environments.

Stainless steel channel steel has good high temperature resistance, is not easy to deform in high temperature environment, and maintains stable performance.

High strength to withstand greater pressure and weight; easy to process to meet the requirements of different shapes and sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 304 ordinary and light channel steel?
Ordinary channel steel is used for standard industrial structures, while light channel steel has wider legs and thinner walls, offering a more lightweight and economical solution for specific building frame needs.
Why is 304 stainless steel preferred for channel steel?
Grade 304 provides an excellent balance of corrosion resistance, high strength, and ease of fabrication, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor industrial applications.
What do the numbers like 120*53*5 represent?
These numbers represent the waist height (120mm), leg width (53mm), and waist thickness (5mm) of the channel steel profile.
Can 304 stainless steel channel be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, it has good high-temperature resistance and maintains stable performance and structural integrity under significant thermal stress.
How is the theoretical weight calculated?
The theoretical weight is calculated based on the cross-sectional area and the standard density of 304 stainless steel (approximately 7.93 g/cm³).
What are the common industrial uses for these channels?
Common uses include building supports, steel frame structures, vehicle manufacturing, and various mechanical components where corrosion resistance is required.
