Penn Stainless Products supplies stainless channels in 304/304L and 316/316L. Larger channels in excess of 24″ can be manufactured utilizing laser fusion technology. Laser fused technology also enables engineers and metal buyers to mix thickness or even material grades. Laser fused channels can also be supplied in Duplex 2205 and lean Duplex 2101.
All channels can be cut to size. Stainless channels can be supplied with a polished finish. See below for information specific to channels. Also, see our Structural Products page for structural overview info, including manufacturing techniques.
