What is 316 stainless steel bolt?
316 Stainless Steel Bolts are made up of an austenitic stainless steel that is corrosion resistant and strong. Suraj Metal Corporationis a leading manufacturer and supplier of the different types such as the 316 Stainless Steel Screws in different sizes and standards. The specifications are ASTM and ASME A193 and 194.
What is the strongest grade for stainless steel bolts?
Stainless steel bolts are rated for corrosion resistance. Bolt strength is rated in PSI (pounds per square inch). A stainless steel bolt has the same PSI rating as a grade 5 bolt (125,000 PSI). A grade 8 bolt has a stronger rating with a PSI of 150,000.
Do stainless steel bolts have a grade?
18-8 Stainless Steel: 303 and 304 Stainless are the most commonly listed grades, the standard grade for stainless fasteners.
What are the different grades of stainless steel bolts?
STAINLESS STEEL MATERIAL GRADE
| Fastener Type | Diameter | Grades |
|---|---|---|
| Hex bolts | M-12 to M-100 | 304 / 304 L |
| Hex cap screws | M-12 to M-100 | 304 / 304 L |
| Socket head cap screws | M-30 to M-72 | 304 / 304 L |

Do they make Grade 8 stainless bolts?
Steel fasteners are commonly available in 4 grades: Grade 2, Grade 5, Grade 8, and Alloy Steel.
Are stainless steel bolts stronger than zinc plated?
Choosing Between Zinc Alloys and Stainless Steel Though some Zinc alloys can be very strong, overall stainless steel is stronger. However, zinc is a heavy element, and when alloyed with other metals it provides better corrosion resistance, stability, dimensional strength and impact strength.
What strength are stainless bolts?
The vast majority of stainless steel fasteners available are produced to ISO 3506 Class 70 (this designates a minimum tensile strength of 700 MPa) and are marked as such. If there is no marking it should be assumed the product is Class 50 (minimum tensile strength of 500 MPa).
