Stainless Steel Bolt

A stainless steel bolt refers to a broad group of fastener products made from stainless steel grades.

The product is a cylindrical rod with thread. At one end of the bolt is a head — hexagon or another shape.

The main function of a bolt is reliable fastening of the components being joined. Two connection options are possible: the thread is cut directly into the part, or a nut is used. A bolted connection is detachable.

Industry produces a wide range of bolts depending on the specifics of application.

Applications

Stainless steel bolts are used in various industrial fields: construction, machine building, instrument making, production of vehicles, furniture, etc. Bolts made from high-quality steel grades with high anti-corrosion properties are especially important in the chemical and food industries, as well as in the oil and gas sector.

Features

Stainless bolts are made from steel grades A2, A4 and others — these are the most common grades. Such bolts feature enhanced strength characteristics and a neat appearance. They can be used in aggressive environments, at elevated temperature and elevated humidity.

Alloying elements — chromium, molybdenum and others — are added to the steel. The product consists entirely of corrosion-resistant metal, which determines its performance characteristics.
