Stainless and Airborne Sodium Chloride 'Dust'
Stainless and Airborne Sodium Chloride 'Dust'
(OP)
I have a project where electrical cable trays are supported on unistrut type channels and the client has found that stainless steel S316 is recommended.
I've heard that S316 doesn't hold up well to chlorides. What would be the common stainless steel to use for airborne salt dust?

As long as moisture is not present nor any condensation that could wet the chlorides, the 316 stainless should be acceptable.

If for any reasons higher humidity and water vapours takes place;
this exposure may lead to sever impacts of corrosion even at time un-noticed(practically hidden beneath the cables)

it depends on the type of atmosphere where the SS is used. is a marine, industrial, desert..?
have a look at this software and docs.

It is also less expensive than 316.
