A Brief Talk on Magnetic Problems of Stainless Steel Fasteners

The use of stainless steel fasteners as a material, can be said that in all aspects of manufacturing, use or processing has a great advantage, so even though the fastener is made of stainless steel as the material itself, the cost is high, the cycle life is relatively short, but in the tight In the firmware solution, it still belongs to a more economical one.

Stainless steel magnetic problem with fasteners

Fasteners If stainless steel is used as the main material, it is also necessary to understand the magnetic properties of stainless steel itself. Stainless steel is generally considered to be non-magnetic, but in fact, a certain amount of magnetism may occur after a certain amount of processing of austenitic series materials, but if it is considered that magnetic is the standard for judging the quality of stainless steel fasteners, it is not precise.

When the fasteners are selected, whether or not the stainless steel material has magnetic properties cannot explain its quality. In fact, some chromium-manganese stainless steels are stainless steels that do not have magnetic properties. The use of chromium-manganese stainless steel in stainless steel fasteners does not replace the use of 300 series stainless steels, especially in highly corrosive working environments.

Nickel elements used in fasteners

In the process of using stainless steel as a fastener, fasteners used to rely more on the use of nickel, but the price of fasteners has also been greatly affected by the increase in the global price of nickel. In order to reduce cost pressures and improve the competitiveness of fasteners, manufacturers of fasteners have specifically searched for alternative materials to produce low-nickel stainless steel fasteners.
