Stainless Steel DIN 1.4438 Channels

Stainless Steel DIN 1.4438 Channels are composed of chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and trace amounts of other elements, including magnesium, manganese, nitrogen, silicon, and carbon. The combination of chromium and nickel in a ratio of roughly 1:2 not only boosts corrosion resistance and contributes to better workability and ductility. Molybdenum is powerful in its ability to improve pitting resistance, increasing with proper heat treatment processes. Other elements allow for increased strain hardening properties in tension, greater yield properties, and a more secure weld without cracking. With the correct alloy composition balanced between corrosion protection and strength, this type of steel is an excellent choice for many engineering applications.

SS DIN 1.4438 channels offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for various industrial and architectural applications. The material’s high chromium content provides superior resistance to oxidation, while its molybdenum content enhances resistance to pitting. Additionally, the addition of nitrogen to this grade increases its mechanical strength. As a result, stainless steel DIN 1.4438 channels can be used in structural applications and the food and beverage industry.
