316/316L Stainless Steel Channels are molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel channels with higher corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-containing and seawater environments. Their chemical composition is Chromium (16–18%), Nickel (10–14%), Molybdenum (2–3%), and carbon content of ≤0.08% for 316 and ≤0.03% for 316L. Mechanical properties are a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa, yield strength of 205 MPa, and elongation of 40%. The lower carbon level in 316L improves weldability and minimizes the risk of intergranular corrosion following welding, suitable for structural purposes where long-term reliability is required.

SS 316/316L double C type channels are stainless steel sections with two “C” shapes back-to-back. They provide enhanced strength and stability, suitable for heavy-duty support and structural applications in harsh environments.
Each Stainless Steel 316/316L Channel is carefully packed with the use of best materials for its prevention from undergoing damages upon corrosion whether in processing or during shipping to its destination. Packing the materials as such, we always see to it that our orders reach our customers in the best possible and timely way due to available transport systems and modes. Requisite accompanying documentation all highest will be handed over to customers as soon as delivery is accomplished to make the deal seem smooth and transparent.
316/316L Stainless Steel Channels are extensively used in support and structural applications where strength and resistance to corrode are imperative. These channels are widely utilized in marine environments, chemical plants, pharmaceutical plants, and food-grade buildings because they are pitting and crevice corrosion resistant. They are also utilized in architectural structures, wastewater treatment plants, and seashore construction where saltwater and aggressive chemicals are often encountered. They are appropriate for structural or decorative uses in strongly corrosive or sanitary situations because of their high weldability, strength, and attractive finish.
