Stainless Channel 304 offers a great mix of strength and corrosion resistance in most situations outside of marine environments. If your project is in a marine environment, choose 316 stainless. 304, the most popular stainless alloy in the world, maintains its properties in high temperature situations. It is typically used in aerospace, food and beverage industry, pressure containers, architectural designs and trim, cryogenic applications, and chemical processing equipment.

This stainless steel channel measures 3 inches in base width, with legs of 1.5 inches each and a thickness of 0.25 inches. It is made from 304/304L stainless steel, known for its strength and corrosion resistance in most environments except marine.

Yes, the stainless steel channel is available for custom cutting with lengths up to 240 inches. Custom cuts are processed at the warehouse, allowing you to order the exact size needed for your project.

No, while 304 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, it is not recommended for marine environments. For marine use, 316 stainless steel is preferred due to its superior corrosion resistance in such conditions.

304 stainless steel channel is widely used in aerospace, food and beverage, pressure containers, architectural trim, cryogenic applications, and chemical processing equipment due to its strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to maintain properties at high temperatures.

Material Test Reports (MTR) are not available for this 304 stainless steel channel product.
