Stainless Steel Step Bolts Shoulder Metal Bolts 1/2 7/16 1 for Engineering Manufacturing

Stainless Steel Step Bolts with a shoulder design are specialized fasteners used extensively in engineering and manufacturing applications. These bolts feature a stepped, cylindrical shoulder beneath the bolt head, providing distinct advantages over standard bolts. The shoulder acts as a bearing surface, ensuring that the load is distributed more evenly across the joint, which helps in preventing damage to the materials being fastened. This feature is particularly useful in applications where precision and strength are paramount.

Available in various sizes, such as 1/2", 7/16", and 1", these bolts are made from high-quality stainless steel, which provides excellent corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is highly durable and performs well in harsh environments, making it ideal for use in industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery manufacturing. The corrosion resistance ensures that these bolts maintain their strength and appearance even in exposure to moisture, chemicals, or extreme temperatures.

The stepped design of these bolts allows them to fit into a wider range of applications where the bolt needs to hold specific components at a particular spacing or provide additional support. In particular, the shoulder enables easier alignment of components, reducing the risk of misalignment during installation. These features make stainless steel step bolts especially valuable for applications involving metal-to-metal connections, heavy-duty equipment, or structural supports.

In engineering and manufacturing environments, the use of these specialized bolts contributes to improved assembly efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability. Whether used in machinery, infrastructure, or any project requiring strong and corrosion-resistant fastening solutions, stainless steel step bolts with shoulder provide a high-performance solution that ensures longevity and precision in critical applications.

201, 304, 316 are austenitic stainless steel, according to the performance of the non-magnetic, some of the performance of the weak magnetic because of the smelting of the composition of the segregation or improper heat treatment leads to the austenite in a small amount of martensite or ferrite. Austenitic stainless steel corrosion resistance comes from the formation of chromium oxide protective layer on the metal surface.

304 stainless steel is a general-purpose stainless steel that is widely used to make equipment and machine parts that require good all-round performance (corrosion resistance and formability). In order to maintain the corrosion resistance inherent in stainless steel, the steel must contain more than 18% chromium, more than 8% nickel content. 304 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel produced according to the American ASTM standard.
