| Property | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Product Name | Stainless Steel C Channel | Hot rolled or laser fused structural C channel made from stainless steel |
| Material Grade | 304 / 304L / 316 / 316L | Equivalent to EN 1.4301 / 1.4307 / 1.4401 / 1.4404, JIS SUS304 / SUS316 |
| Standard Compliance | ASTM A276 / A484 / A36 | Also conforms to EN 10088, GB/T 706, JIS G3101 |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.08% | 304 grade typical; 304L ≤ 0.03% for improved weldability |
| Chromium (Cr) | 18.0 – 20.0% | Primary corrosion-resistant element in austenitic stainless steel |
| Nickel (Ni) | 8.0 – 12.0% | Enhances ductility and corrosion resistance; 316 grade contains 10.0 – 14.0% |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 2.0 – 3.0% (316/316L) | Provides pitting and crevice corrosion resistance; not present in 304 grades |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 2.00% | Improves hot working properties and strength |
| Tensile Strength | 515 – 620 MPa | Per ASTM A276 for 304 grade; 316 grade ≥ 515 MPa |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 205 MPa | 0.2% offset yield strength per ASTM A276 standard |
| Elongation | ≥ 40% | Measured in 50 mm gauge length; excellent formability |

| Surface Finish | Hot Rolled / Pickled / No.1 / 2B / Brushed | Mill finish standard; polished or custom finishes available |
| Application | Structural framing, food processing, marine, chemical plants, architecture | Ideal for corrosive environments requiring high strength and aesthetic appeal |
| Certification | ISO 9001, EN 10204 3.1 MTC, SGS, BV | Mill test certificate provided with each shipment |
| Packaging | Bundle with steel strips, waterproof paper, wooden pallets | Seaworthy export packaging; custom marking and labeling supported |
| MOQ | 1 Metric Ton | Smaller quantities negotiable for trial orders or special grades |
Ordered 304L C channels (100mm x 50mm, 4mm web, pickled finish) for architectural framing — about 3 tonnes. When the shipment arrived in Melbourne, two bundles had incorrect size labels which caused some confusion at our warehouse. We contacted their support team and they responded within a few hours, confirmed the material was actually correct via heat numbers matching the MTCs, and sent updated documentation. The channels themselves were fine quality and met ASTM A276 specs. Issue was purely administrative and handled professionally, but better labeling QC would prevent this.
