Stainless Steel 422 Channels

Stainless Steel 422 Channels are made of a powerful combination of alloys to provide superior strength with good corrosion resistance. This grade contains higher concentrations of chromium and nickel, which means it has higher oxidation and corrosion resistance than regular stainless steel. These channels are made with a mixture of 18% chromium and 12% nickel, with low levels of other elements such as manganese, nitrogen, silicon, sulfur, phosphorus and carbon. This specific chemical composition gives Stainless Steel Channels 422 the stability and robustness needed for many industrial purposes.

Stainless steel 422 channels, also known as martensitic stainless steel, are highly durable and offer a variety of uses and properties. They provide excellent corrosion resistance, ductility in high-temperature applications, toughness at cryogenic temperatures, and improved heat treatment response or stability. Some common uses of this type of stainless steel channel include aerospace parts that need to withstand intense loads and pressures, components for deep sea oil platforms that require durability against extreme temperature variations and forces, and components for heavy machinery used in harsh outdoor environments. Originally developed as an alternative to niobium-based super alloys due to its improved compatibility with titanium alloys and more cost-effective production process, AISI 422 Stainless Steel Channels have become a widespread industrial choice.
