Stainless Steel Channel
At O'Neal Steel, we inventory stainless steel channels in 304 / 304L and 316 / 316L alloys in a variety of sizes to meet the requirements of your application. Stainless steel channel is shaped using a vertical web with top and bottom flanges at a 90 degree angle to the web and inside radius corners to increase the channel’s strength. It can be extruded, hot rolled or laser-fused.
Stainless channels have a dull gray, mill finish. It is used for applications that require the high strength, toughness, corrosion-resistance and easy sanitizing properties of stainless steel. These include raceways, supports, braces and frames for machinery, equipment and housings in corrosive environments 304 / 304L CHANNEL
