Chemical Properties

The 304 Stainless Steel Fasteners resist various corrosive agents:

Acids: Good resistance to organic acids and dilute inorganic acids
Alkalis: Performs well in mild alkaline conditions
Limitations: Susceptible to pitting in chloride-rich environments like seawater

Their chromium content forms a protective oxide layer, enhancing durability.

Things to Note (Limitations)

When using 304 SS Fasteners, consider these limitations:

Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures between 425-860°C (797-1580°F) to prevent sensitization
Not ideal for highly saline or oxidizing conditions—316 grade may be better
Cold working increases strength but may reduce ductility in extreme cases

Corrosion Data for 304 Stainless Steel Fasteners

Environment	Corrosion Resistance
Atmospheric (Urban/Rural)	Excellent resistance to rust
Potable Water	Resists up to 200 mg/L chlorides at ambient
Mild Organic Acids	Strong performance in acetic acid solutions
Warm Chloride Solutions	Susceptible to pitting above 60°C

Best Welding and Manufacturing Practices

Fabricating 304 SS Fasteners is efficient with proper techniques:

Methods: TIG, MIG, or resistance welding using 308 or 308L filler material
Tips: Control heat input to avoid carbide precipitation; annealing may be needed for thicker sections
Processing: Customized sizes achieved via cold forming, threading, or precision machining

We as manufacturer ensures high-quality production for every stainless steel fastener.

What Customers Say About Our SS Fasteners

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do 304 Stainless Steel Fasteners compare to 316?

A: 304 SS Fasteners provide excellent general corrosion resistance at a lower cost, while 316 includes molybdenum for enhanced resistance to chlorides and pitting, ideal for marine or harsh chemical environments.

Q: What’s the advantage of customized sizes?

A: Customized sizes allow 304 SS Fasteners to precisely fit your project, minimizing adjustments and ensuring optimal performance, whether for stainless steel screws or washers.

Q: Are these fasteners suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: They handle intermittent use up to 870°C, but prolonged exposure between 425-860°C may cause sensitization, reducing corrosion resistance.

Q: What industries benefit from stainless steel fasteners manufacturers like yours?

A: Construction, automotive, marine, and food processing rely on our 304 Stainless Steel Fasteners for their durability, corrosion resistance, and versatility.
