HSS Rectangular Section in Stainless
HSS Rectangular Section in Stainless
(OP)
I am looking into the availability of 14 x 4 x 1/2 sections in stainless steel for the purpose of corrosion resistance, since these members will be spanning above open tanks of
water in a treatment plant. Another possibility could be a weathering steel sections but again I don't know if this is available. I would like to hear from anyone that has knowledge of
these steel sections. I have an inquiry into AISC but have not gotten a response back yet. Thanks for any help or advice.

There's a premium in both production and shipping.

Any reason round pipe wouldn't work? It's available in all kinds of alloys if you can afford it.
Also- I was thinking the weathering steels worked great where they stayed dry- not so much where they may not stay dry. So check around on the corrosion aspects there. Galvanized steel or aluminum would be other options.

They have great dimensional control and properties. If these are in a location where maintenance will be extremely difficult then SS may be a cost effective option.
