Stainless Steel 304 Fasteners are utilised in numerous applications. It is also known that the metal is nonmagnetic. As a result, they can be used in high-temperature situations. Stainless Steel 304 Fasteners are an iron-based alloy with high corrosion resistance. It has widespread application in the food, chemical, petroleum, and energy industries.
SS 304 is an austenitic stainless steel with low carbon content. Manganese, chromium, and phosphorus are all present in this alloy. When combined with its high chromium content, SS 304 has excellent oxidation resistance. Furthermore, a mixture of various alloys improves corrosion resistance. Electropolishing stainless steel fasteners produce a flawless finish.
Features of Stainless Steel 304 Fasteners
- Fasteners made of stainless steel 304 are normally nonmagnetic. Certain versions, however, are magnetic. UNS S30400 Fasteners is one of these.
- These are specifically austenite and contain 18% chromium and 8% nickel.
- These fasteners have higher geometrical strength in addition to their tensile strength.
- High-temperature strength is another feature of stainless steel 304 fasteners.
- They can, for example, be used to combine metals with temperature ranges of up to 800 degrees Celsius. They can also be toughened through hard work. As a result, these fasteners can tolerate extremely high pressures.
- They are also utilized to hold flexible materials together in some circumstances.
Why 304 steel used for?
Corrosion-resistant electrical enclosures, vehicle molding and trim, wheel covers, kitchen equipment, hose clamps, exhaust manifolds, stainless hardware, storage tanks, pressure vessels, and pipes are all made from type 304 stainless steel sheets.
