MaterialsCarbon SteelChannels made from high-quality carbonsteel are continuously roll formed toprecise dimensions. By cold working thesteel mechanical properties are increased,allowing lightweight structures to carry therequired load. Corrosion resistance ofcarbon steel varies widely with coating andalloy. See Finishes for more SteelStainless steel channel is available in AISIType 304 or 316 material. Both arenon-magnetic and belong to the austeniticstainless steels group, based on alloycontent and crystallographic structure. Likecarbon steel, stainless steel exhibitsincreased strength when cold worked conditions make the use ofstainless steel ideal.

Finishes Zinc Coatings Zinc protects steel in two ways. First it protects the steel as a coating, and second as a sacrificial anode to repair bare …
