We also offer a special fastener range offering a host of different strengths and grades of stainless steel fasteners for all manner of different uses.
Grade A2 is an Austenitic grade of stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance except in severe industrial and marine environments. Because Grade A2 fasteners have high oxidisation resistance, they are satisfactory for use up to 850 �C. Grade A2 fasteners also offer excellent resistance to nitric acid and other oxidising chemicals, as well as good resistance to other mineral and organic acids within certain limits of temperature and concentration. Grade A2 can be described as non-magnetic except when it is heavily cold worked. Grade A2 is not hardened by heat but is greatly strengthened by cold working.
Grade A2 fasteners are used in civil and chemical engineering projects, as well as food processing, medical and brewing equipment and many types of domestic appliances. Grade A2 fasteners are often used for aluminium alloy applications and special building and masonry fixings.
Like Grade A2, Grade A4 is also an austenitic grade of stainless steel but with a higher corrosion resistance than Grade A2 in many situations, including contact with dilute sulphuric acid and acetic acid over a wide range of temperatures and concentrations. Grade A4 is also suitable for marine uses. Grade A4 gives good oxidisation up to 800�C.
Grade A4 fasteners are often used for deck fittings, swimming pools, sewage treatment plants, dairy equipment and medical sterilising.
