protects it against the action of external
agents. The passivation film or layer does not
allow these agents to interact, reducing or
stopping the chemical reaction from
happening.
IEC 61537 Standard classifies this steel’s
resistance to corrosion as Class 9B without the
passivation treatment and as Class 9Dwith
the passivation treatment.
Stainless Steel AISI 316L, denominated 14401
according to the numerical classification
established by the BS EN 10088 Standard has
the same characteristics regarding corrosion
as steel AISI 316, but o ers a higher degree of
welding and easier forming of the lengths
with a thickness of more than 6mm.

Material
Electrogalvanised (ELECTROZINC/EZ)
A steel base coatedwith a zinc layer by
electrolysis, bymeans of submerging the
lengths in a bath composed of a zinc solution,
in accordancewith BS EN ISO 2081. Depending
on the type of zinc layer, it shall have a di erent
degree of protection on the steel, avoiding
corrosion and enhancing the visual
appearance of the length.This treatment is
carried out once the length has been formed.
The IEC 61537 Standard classifies the degree
of resistance to corrosion of the system’s
components depending on the steel’s
electrolytic covering, belonging to Class 1
those with a minimum thickness of 5µm and
to Class 2 those of 12µm. Marshall-Tu ex uses
Class 2 as its standardmaterial in order to
guarantee the quality of its products against
corrosion. This treatment is used in dry
environments free of pollutants.
Hot Dip Galvanised Steel (HDG)
Laminated or rust removed galvanised after
forming steel according to BS EN ISO 1461
Standard. The steel’s protection is covered by a
zinc coating which varies depending on the
steel’s thickness, o ering a uniform covering.
The zinc coating’s thickness depends on the
thickness of the base material. The IEC 61537
Standard classifies the resistance against
corrosion of these galvanised steels as Class 5
for the covering of 45µm, Class 6 for 55µm,
Class 7 for 70µm and Class 8 for 85µm. Hot dip
galvanised steel is used in humid
environments, granting a high protection
during adverse atmospheric situations, light
chemical situations, light marine situations
and urban situations.
Stainless Steel AISI 316 (I316)
Denominated 14401 according to the
numerical classification established by the BS
EN 10088 Standard. Steel’s protection
happens due to the great a nity which
metals such as chromiumhave with oxygen,
which gives place to the creation of a
protective chromium oxide layer which avoids
the corrosion of iron. Type I316 stainless steels
are similar to type 1304, but they contain a
2.5% of molybdenumwhich confers it a
greater resistance to localised corrosion. It is
ideal for use in very corrosive environments,
even at high temperatures. Under special
conditions, and always under order, there is
the possibility of conducting a passivation
process. Passivation is a treatment which
enhances stainless steel’s protection against
corrosion by means of forming a relatively
inert film on the surface of a material which
