Selection Requirements for Stainless Steel Fasteners

Stainless steel fasteners, also known as stainless steel screws, are standardized screws according to national standards. Due to their aesthetic appearance, durability, and strong corrosion resistance, stainless steel fasteners are often used to secure valuable machinery components. With societal progress, higher standards have also been set for stainless steel standard parts.

Stainless steel standard parts have specific requirements for production materials. Most stainless steel can be processed into wires or bars for fastener production. Common types include austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, martensitic stainless steel, and precipitation-hardening stainless steel.

So, what are the principles of material selection? As a professional stainless steel fastener manufacturer, XINCHI is pleased to share the selection criteria for stainless steel materials, which mainly consider the following aspects:

Mechanical Performance Requirements: Special emphasis on the strength requirements of fastener materials.

Corrosion Resistance Requirements: Considering the environmental conditions that demand strong corrosion resistance.

Heat Resistance Requirements: Evaluating the material’s high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance concerning the working temperature.

Processing Performance Requirements: Ensuring the material is suitable for the necessary manufacturing processes.

Other Factors: Additional considerations such as weight, cost, and procurement feasibility.

After comprehensively considering these five factors, the appropriate stainless steel material is selected based on relevant national standards. The produced standard parts and fasteners should also meet technical requirements such as: Bolts, Screws, and Studs (Standard: 3098.3-2000); Nuts (Standard: 3098.15-2000); Set Screws (Standard: 3098.16-2000).
