Stainless Steel UNS S38400 Fasteners

Stainless steel UNS S38400 fasteners are composed of iron, nickel, and chromium. This metal alloy is highly resistant to corrosion in various environments, making it an ideal material for secure fastening in applications requiring the strength of steel but with more excellent durability. This alloy contains high quantities of chromium, between 18 and 20%, 8 to 10% nickel, and smaller components such as manganese, silicon, nitrogen, and carbon. When exposed to elevated temperatures, these alloys also offer increased resistance properties by forming an invisible layer of oxide film on the surface that protects against further oxidation.

SS UNS S38400 Fasteners have numerous benefits in commercial, industrial, and manufacturing applications. The corrosion-resistant properties of this grade make it an excellent choice for connecting materials exposed to harsh environments, such as marine, chemical, or other corrosive atmospheres. Its heat shielding capability also makes it well-suited for projects that require resistance to high temperatures and hot-working processes. This alloy is also famous for its excellent strength, making it an ideal choice for heavier-duty applications. Moreover, the remarkable vibration-dampening qualities of this grade give it a definite edge when assembling parts with more sensitive configurations. Its lightweight design makes Stainless Steel UNS S38400 Fasteners an appealing option for various assembly works across multiple industries.
