The range of stainless steel fasteners consists of a wide variety of elements that are characterised by their hardness and corrosion resistance. This selection of products is suitable for jobs where materials with a long service life are required and can be applied both indoors and outdoors.
But is stainless steel fasteners applicable to all sectors? It is used in works related to construction, automotive, food industry and naval industry, among others. Know the main advantages of stainless steel and the types of stainless steel fasteners that exist.
Main Advantages of Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a ferrous metal that is highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation even in the most demanding climatic environments. Therefore, stainless steel screws, as well as the rest of the fasteners, do not require an exhaustive maintenance and care. In addition, it is a material with a great longevity, ideal for applications that require products for long-term use.
Another of the advantages of stainless steel is the great resistance and structural safety that it provides in each of the applications. This type of material can be used in very diverse sectors such as construction or the food industry, complying with safety and hygiene standards in all areas.
Stainless steel fasteners have a polished finish which gives them an attractive appearance suitable for those installations where the product is going to be visible.
Types of Stainless Steel Fasteners
The term stainless steel fasteners groups together a selection of products such as screws, nuts, washers, threaded rods, cable and chain fittings and other accessories. Each of them has a specific function depending on the field of application and all of them guarantee a strong and durable connection:
- Stainless screws ensure the connection between two or more materials and are made of stainless steel type A2 or A4. In our catalogue you will find a large selection with different composition and structure: round, round, countersunk and hexagonal head with adapted body and thread in order to cover different uses.
- Stainless steel nuts reinforce the fastening of bolts and the choice of each of them will depend on the type of application. These are the types of stainless steel nuts that we have available in CHAVESBAO: self-locking hexagonal nut, square nut, blind nut, flange nut or wing nut.
- The stainless steel washers separate the bolt from the fastening surface, thus extending the service life of both elements. Within our selection of washers you will find three types of washers: Grower washers, flat washers and serrated washers.
Stainless steel threaded rods provide a strong and durable fixing for structural applications. In our catalogue you will find threaded rods with a length of one metre made of A2 and A4 stainless steel.
Cable and chain accessories can be used as a complement to fix and protect cables and chains. At CHAVESBAO we have a wide selection including straight shackles and shackle straps, thimbles, turnbuckles, eyebolts and cable clamps adapted to each type of application.
Elastic rings and pins limit movement and displacement in any type of connection. Our selection of products is made of AISI 420 stainless steel, which guarantees mechanical resistance as well as resistance to corrosion.
At CHAVESBAO we have a wide range of stainless steel fasteners that adapt to the needs of our customers. In addition, our product catalogue is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. These documents ensure compliance with the fundamental quality and safety requirements in terms of the manufacture and marketing of products.
