A2 / A4 Stainless Steel Hex Bolts/ Salt Water & Chemical Resistance/ Batch Orders Guanbiao hardware

Durable stainless steel hex head bolts for corrosive environments. A2 (304) & A4 (316) grades available. Perfect for marine, food processing, architectural & outdoor applications.

Combat rust and corrosion effectively with our premium Stainless Steel Hex Head Bolts. Offering excellent durability and aesthetic appeal, these bolts are essential for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, salt spray, or demanding environmental conditions. Featuring the reliable external hex drive for easy installation with common wrenches or sockets, they combine functionality with long-lasting performance, making them ideal for marine, architectural, food processing, and outdoor installations.

Primary Uses & Applications:
Stainless steel hex bolts are indispensable where corrosion resistance is paramount:
* Marine hardware (boats, docks, fittings).
* Architectural cladding, railings, and facades.
* Food and beverage processing equipment (hygienic environments).
* Chemical processing plants and laboratories.
* Outdoor structures (fences, signage, playgrounds).
* Swimming pools and water treatment facilities.
* Coastal construction and infrastructure.
* HVAC systems and appliances.

Surface Treatment/Finishes:
Stainless steel bolts often rely on their inherent corrosion resistance, but finishes can enhance appearance or performance:
* **Passivation (Standard):** Chemical treatment to remove free iron and enhance the natural chromium oxide layer, maximizing corrosion resistance. Essential process.
* **Bright Polish (BA Finish):** Smooth, reflective finish for aesthetic applications.
* **Satin Finish (No. 4 Finish):** Brushed, non-reflective finish, popular for architectural uses.
* **Electropolishing:** Removes surface imperfections, improves cleanability, and slightly enhances corrosion resistance. Common in food/pharma.
* **Teflon® Coating (PTFE):** Optional dry film lubricant for easier assembly/disassembly and added chemical resistance.

How to Use:

Choose the appropriate stainless steel grade (A2 for most environments, A4 for marine/chemical) and size. Use a clean, properly sized hex wrench or socket to avoid galling (cold welding common with stainless). Apply moderate, steady torque. Using a lubricant specifically designed for stainless steel (e.g., nickel-based anti-seize) on the threads is highly recommended to prevent galling and seizing, especially in critical or repetitive assembly/disassembly applications. Always pair with matching stainless steel nuts and washers to prevent galvanic corrosion. Avoid over-tightening.
