Stainless Steel UNS S31609 Bolts

Stainless steel UNS S31609 bolts are best known for their corrosion resistance, making them perfect for applications where the strength and security of a bolt are needed in damp or wet environments. This material has a chemical makeup that includes chromium, nickel and molybdenum. This combination gives the alloy superior corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and excellent mechanical properties at low and elevated temperatures. With added benefits like stress corrosion cracking resistance and easy welding capability, it’s no wonder why this specific grade of stainless steel bolts is widely used in industries such as marine, oil exploration and motor vehicles.

Stainless Steel UNS S31609 Bolts are popularly used in many industries for different purposes. Their properties make them the ideal material for applications with high corrosion and extreme oxidation conditions. Due to its increased strength, this grade of stainless steel is especially well-suited in marine construction, particularly on boats and yachts, because of its excellent resistance to seawater-related corrosion. Additionally, its convenient austenitic structure makes it resistant to localized corrosion such as pitting, crevice corrosion and stress cracking, making it extremely useful in off-shore oil rigs where saltwater can be highly aggressive. Furthermore, these bolts also provide excellent wear resistance characteristics and good formability through cold working processes, making them quite versatile.
