Stainless Steel UNS S31400 Fasteners

SS UNS S31400 Fasteners are used in many industrial applications for their superior properties and relatively low cost. It is a combination of iron, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, giving it its strength and corrosion resistance characteristics. Chromium makes up the highest proportions of its composition at 17-18%, which creates a protective oxide layer when exposed to air and prevents rust formation. Nickel must also be present in amounts of 10-12%, while steel comprises between 65-68 %, with the balance primarily made up of molybdenum or manganese. The UNS S31400 alloy provides toughness and impact resistance and superior wear and pitting resistance due to the high chromium content. This chromium also contributes to corrosion resistance properties by forming a protective film over the surface when exposed to air.

SS UNS S31400 fasteners are a type of high-performance hardware that can be used in a variety of applications. Their high strength and durability mean they are ideal for use in extreme environments where other materials won't hold up. Furthermore, these fasteners have excellent corrosion resistance and can withstand acid, alkalis, and salt exposure without degrading their performance. Another great thing about stainless steel UNS S31400 fasteners is that they provide good thermal stability giving them an edge in heat-intensive systems. All these excellent properties make stainless steel UNS S31400 fasteners the go-to choice for rugged, long-lasting hardware solutions.
