Stainless Steel 442 Bolts

Stainless Steel 442 Bolts are frequently used in construction and other heavy-duty projects due to their strength, corrosion resistance and low cost. These bolts are composed of a special combination of different metals that provide them with their hardy properties: chromium (15.0-18.0%), molybdenum (0.75%) and nitrogen (0.30%). The chromium creates a protective oxide coating which does not let the bolt rust or corrode, while the molybdenum provides strength and resilience against fatigue, and the nitrogen enhances weldability. Moreover, compared to other types of stainless steel bolts on the market, these bolts offer superior wear resistance for long-lasting functionality.

442 Stainless Steel Bolts are among the most sought-after fasteners due to their advantageous properties and uses. Most prominently, they resist environmental oxidation, meaning they can hold up in benign and corrosive environments. Furthermore, they also provide some level of resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, which makes them highly useful for any project that may need exposed bolts near a pool or body of water. Their tensile strength is also worth noting - Stainless Steel 442 Bolts have three times higher tensile strength than the Grade 410 ones and are more durable than those from Grades 409 and 430. Finally, these bolts also have good formability characteristics making them flexible enough for all installation needs. In general, Stainless Steel 442 Bolts offer strong corrosion protection in even the harshest environment, making them essential for diverse medical and automotive applications.
