To mitigate the effects of C5 corrosion, various protective measures are employed, including the use of corrosion-resistant materials. We recommend Stainless 304L and Stainless 316L for these tough environments. Zinc Nickel and Zinc Magnesium alloys withstand this type of test better than Zinc flake and hot-dip galvanised. The mechanical strength of cable trays is determined by the steel's ductility, yield strength and elongation at break, but also by its weldability. Heated buildings with clean atmosphere. In this environment you can use untreated steel or painted steel. The C1 class includes materials that are not. Cable trays, which provide vital support and protection for electrical wiring, must be chosen with consideration for the specific environmental conditions in which they will be used. Understanding corrosion classes helps manufacturers and engineers select the right materials and protective coatings for these. ISO 12944 is the international standard for corrosion protection of steel structures by protective paint systems.
