Manufacturing Process
Stainless steel channel steel is manufactured via hot rolling, cold forming, or laser welding. Hot-rolled channels are shaped from billets, while welded types are fabricated from precision-cut stainless steel plates. All profiles undergo straightening, surface treatment, and dimensional inspection to meet international tolerance and mechanical strength standards.
FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between U channel and C channel?
A: Both are similar in shape, but U channels typically have deeper webs and are preferred for structural support. The terms are often used interchangeably depending on region.
Q: Can you supply custom channel sizes?
A: Yes, we manufacture channels in both standard and custom dimensions, including cut-to-length and punched versions.
Q: Is stainless channel suitable for outdoor use?
A: Absolutely. Grades like 316 and duplex stainless steel offer excellent performance in outdoor and marine conditions.
Q: What surface finishes are available?
A: Options include mill finish, acid pickling, mirror polishing, and custom coating per application.
Q: Do you provide cutting or secondary processing?
A: Yes, we offer laser cutting, drilling, welding bevels, and packaging customization upon request.
