Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the main types of stainless steel used for high-strength fasteners?
The main types include Austenitic (e.g., grades A1–A8, 304, 316), Martensitic (e.g., grades C1, C3, C4, 410, 420), Ferritic (e.g., 430, 446), Duplex (e.g., grades D2–D8, 2205, 2507), and Precipitation-Hardening stainless steels (e.g., S17400, S46500). Each type offers different balances of strength, corrosion resistance, and magnetic properties.
What is the difference between austenitic and martensitic stainless steel fasteners?
Austenitic stainless steel fasteners (such as 304 and 316) are non-magnetic, offer excellent corrosion resistance and toughness, and are easy to weld. Martensitic stainless steel fasteners (such as 410 and 420) are magnetic, can be hardened through heat treatment for higher hardness and wear resistance, but have relatively lower corrosion resistance compared to austenitic grades.
Which stainless steel fastener type is best for marine and offshore applications?
Duplex stainless steel fasteners (such as grades 2205 and 2507) are best suited for marine and offshore environments. They offer superior resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking (Cl-SCC) and pitting corrosion compared to standard austenitic grades, making them ideal for subsea pipelines, marine platforms, and seawater desalination systems.
What standards govern the performance of stainless steel high-strength fasteners?
Stainless steel high-strength fasteners are primarily governed by ISO 3506/1-2020 for austenitic, duplex, martensitic, and ferritic grades. Precipitation-hardening grades follow ASTM A564-2019 and ASTM F738M-02. These standards define mechanical properties including tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness ranges.
What is precipitation-hardening stainless steel and why is it used for fasteners?
Precipitation-hardening (PH) stainless steel is a special class that achieves very high strength through a heat treatment process called aging, in addition to the hardening from its alloy composition. Grades such as S17400, S46500, and XM-16 can achieve tensile strengths exceeding 1600 MPa. They are used for fasteners in demanding aerospace, defense, and high-performance industrial applications where both very high strength and good corrosion resistance are required.
What size range is available for stainless steel high-strength fasteners?
The available size range varies by material type and grade. Generally, austenitic grades (A1–A3, A4–A5) cover M1 to M140, while grades with higher strength levels (grade 80, 100) are available from M3 to M48 or M3 to M64. Martensitic and precipitation-hardening grades typically range from M1 or M5 up to M140, with some high-strength grades available from M6 to M64. Please refer to the supply range table above for specific details per grade.
