18.8 Stainless Steel metric fasteners, resembling inch fasteners in style and use, require careful identification to avoid mix-ups. They're measured in millimeters, with distinctive head markings. 18.8 stainless steel material has excellent corrosion resistant qualities and is an excellent choice for general use and outdoor applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: One of the primary benefits of 18.8 stainless steel is its excellent resistance to corrosion. Applications where exposure to moisture and salt is common.
- Ideal for use in harsh environments, including outdoor, marine, and coastal. For optimal results, utilize 18.8 stainless steel nuts and washers.
- Predominantly non-magnetic, making these bolts suitable for applications where magnetic interference needs to be minimized, such as in electronic or medical equipment installations.
- Maintenance-Free: The corrosion resistance of 18.8 stainless steel reduces the need for maintenance, painting, or protective coatings, saving time and cost over the bolt's lifespan.
- Versatility: These bolts are versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, from construction and marine environments to automotive and manufacturing industries, where the combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal is required.
- Available in Coarse, with fully threaded or partially threaded lengths. DIN 931 = Partial Thread, DIN 933 = Full Thread.
- The range for tensile is broad and depends on how the fasteners are made. 80,000-150,000 psi is the usual range after cold work.
