Stainless Steel 316F Bolts

316f Stainless Steel Bolts are made from an alloy of iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and nitrogen. Chromium gives the bolts corrosion resistance and strength, nickel adds toughness and ductility deep below room temperature levels, and molybdenum helps enhance strength at high temperatures. Nitrogen further increases the material’s tensile strength while helping reduce costs. The result is a dependable stainless steel bolt with superior corrosion resistance compared to other grades of stainless steel bolts.

SS 316f bolts are commonly used for marine, chemical, and food processing applications due to their strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance. The material contains a higher percentage of molybdenum content than other stainless steels, providing superior pitting and crevice corrosion resistance in aggressive environments. Additionally, 316f has excellent weldability characteristics making it suitable for joining components with different alloys.
