Our reports can be created for any time VMI programs are designed around each customer and are tailored to their unique requirements. Flexible billing schedules can be arranged and since parts are delivered with our trucks customers won t be charged for freight.

6 7 Fax American Bolt Advantagea guide to Stainless SteelDescriptionStainless Steels are broadly defined as iron alloys containing from 12 to 30% Chromium and from 0 to 20% Nickel. This analysis is further modified by minor elements which contribute specific effects either to con-trol mechanical properties or to improve corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of Stainless Steels is attributed to a surface phenomenon, passivity. When oxygen comes in contact with the surface it forms an invisible film which protects the underlying metal from rusting and corrosion under severe family of Stainless Steels is divided into three general classifications: austenitic - Stainless Steels which make up the general group of the 18-8 (or 300) series. They are Chronium-Nickle type containing upwards of 8% Nickle. They are not hardened by heat treatment, non-magnetic for practical purposes, and offer the greatest degree of corrosion resistance.

7 Martensitic - Stainless Steels contain from 12 to 20% Chromium. They are magnetic and hardenable. Type 410 and 416, common fastening alloys, are Martenstic Stainless Steels. Ferritic - Alloys are also Chromium Stainless Steel alloys. They are magnetic and not hardenable by heat treatment. Type 430 is an are almost as many uses for Stainless Steel fastenings as there are problems of corrosion, temperature and strength. It is one of the most versatile metals because of its high tensile strength, corrosion resistant qualities, and ability to attain a mirror-like finish. Applications include its use in the petroleum, chemical, food, plumbing, transportation, and oil equipment industries to mention a few. Listed below are the types of various Stainless Steel alloys which are most frequently used in the manufacture of 304An 18-8 grade generally used for cold headed products. It retains an untarnished surface under most atmo-spheric conditions and offers high strength at reasonably elevated 309A chromium-nickle grade with approximate ratio 12% nickle and 22% chrome.

8 The additional amount of nickle and chrome make it desirable on high temperature applications. It is difficult to machine but can be used for some cold headed 310A chromium-nickle stainless steel with a ratio of 24%-26% chromium and 19-22% nickle. It offers the highest heat resisting qualities of any of the chromium-nickle 316 Sometimes referred to as SMo stainless steel. It differs from 304 mainly by its molybdenum content and has qualities which give it superior corrosion resistance to other chromium nickle steels when exposed to sea water and many types of chemical atmospheres. It is also a superior stainless steel for strength at high 321 Similar to the 302,304 group with the addition of Titanium, which aids in resisting intergranular corrosion when subject to operating or fabrication temperatures in the range of 800 F to 1,650 410A straight chromium alloy containing no nickle. It is a general purpose corrosion and heat resisting, hard-enable chromium 430 Similar to Type 410 but containing additional chromium; it is not hardenable.

9 The corrosion and heat resis-tance qualities are generally superior to Type 410. American Bolt AdvantageOvercoming galling in Stainless SteelGalling is the result of two metal s surfaces being rubbed together under a load sufficient to break through the oxide film that covers their surfaces, thus allowing the mating surfaces to come into contact at their high points. When the force between the two metals exceeds the strength of either material; cold welding occurs. If not dealt with at the time of assembly, cold weld-ing or galling as it is more commonly called could occur. Galling occurs more readily if the metals are being operated at an elevated temperature. If care is not exercised to prevent galling, a stainless nut may become frozen solid on a stainless probability of galling can be minimized or prevented via:use of dissimilar materialsGalling can be minimized easily by combining a stainless steel bolt with a non-ferrous nut.

10 Such as brass or bronze: There are two likely objections to this. First, the non-ferrous material may not withstand the corrosive environment that the application calls for. Second, there is a danger of galvanic corrosion due to the presence of two entirely different metals on is well known that hard surfaces will gall less than soft surfaces. It may not be so well know that a hard surface and a soft surface work together better than two hard surfaces or two soft surfaces. One remedy to galling may be to harden one surface more than the other. Stainless steel can me machined at any hardness up to about 300 Brinell. By having one surface annealed or softened and the other hardened to 250 to 300 Brinell may greatly reduce the occurrence of galling. For example, combining a Type 302 HQ bolt with a heat treated Type 416 stainless steel nut causes the moving part in the assembly to be harder than the stationary bolt, thus reducing the tendency to CompositionThe addition of free machining additives such as sulphur or selenium to both the 300 and 400 series stainless steels greatly reduces the tendency to gall.
