When we talk about stainless steel fasteners, the first thing that comes to our mind is durability. The most important alloy elements in stainless steel is Chromium, only when the content reaches a certain value, can the stainless steel be resistance to corrosion. Also when the quantities of chromium, phosphorous, molybdenum, nickel, iron, manganese, nitrogen, sulfur, titanium, silicon, carbon, niobium, copper, tungsten, vanadium are modified, the properties of the alloy change.

How are stainless steels categorized?

Stainless steels can be found in four different categories: Austenitic (300 series), Martensitic (400 series), Precipitation Hardenable (17-4PH, 455), and Ferritic (430, 443).

What’s the advantages of stainless steel fasteners?

Resistance to corrosion - Stainless steel consists of 10.5 percent Chromium or more, which helps in enhancing its anti-corrosion property. Because of its composition, it allows the development of a chromium oxide film on the surface of the metal, which saves it from getting damaged.

Attractive appearance - the surface of stainless steel fastener is plain, smooth and shining, the color silver is also beautiful and suitable for decoration.

Low maintenance – stainless steel is easy to keep up because it is resistant to scratches and corrosion and it is easy to clean.
