Mechanical Properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | 515 - 900 MPa |
| Yield Strength | 260 - 400 MPa |
| Elongation | ≥40% |
| Hardness (Rockwell B) | ≤95 HRB |
Chemical Properties
The 201 SS Fasteners resist certain corrosive agents:
- Acids: Moderate resistance to organic acids like acetic acid
- Alkalis: Decent performance in mild alkaline solutions
- Limitations: Less effective in chloride-rich or highly acidic environments
The lower nickel content limits resistance compared to higher grades.
Things to Note (Limitations)
When using 201 SS Fasteners, keep these in mind:
- Not suited for marine or high-chloride environments due to pitting risks
- Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 500°C (932°F) to prevent strength loss
- Cold working increases strength but may reduce ductility in extreme cases
Corrosion Data for 201 Stainless Steel Fasteners
| Environment | Corrosion Resistance |
|---|---|
| Atmospheric (Dry/Indoor) | Excellent resistance to rust |
| Potable Water | Moderate, up to 200 mg/L chlorides |
| Mild Organic Acids | Good performance at ambient temperatures |
| Saltwater Exposure | Prone to pitting and surface rust |
Best Welding and Manufacturing Practices
Fabricating 201 SS Fasteners is practical and efficient:
- Methods: TIG, MIG, or resistance welding with 308 filler
- Tips: Control heat to avoid intergranular corrosion; annealing optional
- Cold Heading: Precision forming enhances strength and shape for stainless steel screws
What Customers Say About Our SS Fasteners
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes 201 Stainless Steel Fasteners a smart choice over 304?
A: They’re a wallet-friendly option with solid strength and decent corrosion resistance for less demanding settings. If you don’t need marine-grade toughness, 201 SS Fasteners get the job done without breaking the bank.
Q: How does cold heading boost these fasteners?
A: Cold heading ramps up their strength by shaping them without heat—think tougher stainless steel screws and bolts that hold tight under pressure. It’s a win for durability and cost.
Q: Are these good for outdoor projects?
A: Indoors, they’re golden—think kitchens or dry warehouses. Outdoors, especially near saltwater, they’re not the best bet; the corrosion resistance isn’t up to par for that kind of punishment.
Q: What industries are snapping these up?
A: Automotive, furniture, and appliance makers love 201 SS Fasteners for their affordability and versatility. They’re fastening everything from car trim to dishwasher frames with ease.
Q: How quick can I get pricing from you folks?
A: Toss your specs—size, type, how many—into our website form, and our China team will ping you back with a 201 SS Fasteners price in under 24 hours.
Q: Will these fasteners rust in a damp basement?
A: In mild dampness, they’ll hold up fine—no heavy rust worries. But if it’s soaking wet or salty down there, you might see some surface spots over time.
