Stainless Steel 310H Bolts

Understand the Application Requirements

• Temperature Range: Determine the maximum and minimum operating temperatures the bolts will be exposed to. Stainless Steel 310H is particularly suited for high-temperature environments.
• Corrosive Environment: Assess the type and concentration of corrosive agents present in the environment. This will help in confirming that 310H’s corrosion resistance is adequate.
• Mechanical Stress: Consider the mechanical loads and stresses the bolts will need to withstand, including tensile, shear, and fatigue stresses.

2. Material Properties

• High-Temperature Strength: Ensure that the bolts can maintain their strength at the highest operating temperatures.
• Thermal Expansion: Check the thermal expansion properties to ensure compatibility with other materials in the assembly.
• Oxidation Resistance: Confirm the material’s ability to resist oxidation at high temperatures.

3. Bolt Specifications

• Size and Dimensions: Select the appropriate size and thread dimensions based on the design specifications and standards (e.g., ASTM, DIN).
• Tensile Strength: Ensure the bolts have the necessary tensile strength for the application, often provided in technical datasheets.
• Grade and Standards: Verify the material grade (310H) and ensure it meets the necessary industry standards and certifications for your application.
