Stainless Steel 316L Stud Bolts

316L stainless steel stud bolts are composed of various elements that enhance durability and strength. The chemical composition consists of 18-20% chromium, 10-14% nickel and 2-3% molybdenum - all these are known for their corrosion resistance properties. In addition, these 316L stud bolts contain elements such as carbon, manganese and silicon, which add to the alloy’s mechanical properties and workability. Moreover, with its superior corrosion resistance against intergranular corrosion and chloride pitting, stainless steel is popular for fastening applications in industrial settings. Its nonmagnetic nature adds to its versatility and wide range of usage in various industries.

316L SS stud bolts are commonly utilized in corrosive conditions requiring a high-performance level, such as chemical processing, pulp and paper production, and shipbuilding. These stud bolts have excellent resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures, providing enhanced service longevity. In addition, the material has good weldability and higher strength at cryogenic temperatures of up to -150° Celsius. Moreover, users benefit from the low-temperature toughness properties that make 316L stainless steel ideal for projects where the temperature may fluctuate drastically between regular use or storage. This makes it an ideal choice for many engineering applications.
