Stainless Steel 305 Fasteners

The chemical composition of 305-grade stainless steel fasteners consists of iron, 18-20% chromium, 8- 10.5% nickel, and a maximum of 0.12% carbon. Additionally, a small amount of molybdenum is added to enhance the corrosion resistance and increase the fastener's strength and hardness. These fasteners are ideal for food processing equipment, chemical tanks, pumps, and other environments prone to corrosion or abrasion.

305 stainless steel fastener are used for various applications due to their corrosion resistance, toughness, and strength. This alloy is resistant to chemical corrosion from mild acids like vinegar and other food products and can withstand extreme temperatures without losing its strength or quality. Its excellent ductility makes it easy to work with in fabrication processes such as threading, cutting, and forming. Additionally, 305 ss fasteners have a high fatigue strength, making them ideal for use in heavily stressed components that are subject to vibration or shock loading.
