HEX CAP SCREW--STAINLESS STEEL, 18-8 & 316 9 3-G
Description 18-8 and 316 stainless steel cap screws are both made from austenitic alloys as described below.
18-8: Used in products that require general atmospheric corrosion resistance, such as chemical and food-processing equipment.
Applications/ Some chemical environments may require special corrosion resistant materials and precautions.
Advantages 316: The molybdenum content gives this type of stainless even greater corrosion resistance than 18-8 as well as superior strength
at high temperatures.
18-8: A cap screw made from one of the following austenitic alloys: 303, 303Se, 304, XM7, all of which are characterized as having
a chromium content of 17-19% and nickel content of 8-10%.
Material
316: A cap screw made from 316 stainless steel, an austenitic alloy which differs from 18-8 by its molybdenum content (2-3%) and
a higher nickel content (10-14%).
The austenitic alloys develop their strength through work hardening during the fastener manufacturing process, as seen from the
Heat Treatment hardness properties below. The only heat treatment normally available on austenitic stainless alloys is annealing, which is done at
approximately 1900°F to a dead soft condition and is not normally thermally reversible.
1/4 through 5/8 in. diameter: Rockwell B95 - C32

Hardness 3/4 through 1 in. diameter: Rockwell B80 - C32
1/4 through 5/8 in. diameter, 2.25D and longer: 65,000 psi. minimum
Yield Strength*
3/4" (2.25D & longer) & 7/8 through 1 in. diameter (3D & longer): 45,000 psi. minimum
1/4 through 5/8 in. diameter, 2.25D and longer: 100,000 - 150,000 psi.
Tensile Strength 3/4" (2.25D & longer) & 7/8 through 1 in. diameter (3D & longer): 85,000 - 140,000 psi.
Elongation in 4D* 1/4 through 5/8 in. diameter: 20% minimum; 3/4 through 1 in. diameter: 25% minimum.
D = Nominal diameter of the screw in inches

*These properties are tested only on machined specimens when the testing machine cannot provide for full testing of the parts.
**Product standards require the manufacturer’s head marking to appear on the top of all cap screws 1/4” diameter and larger. “X” represents one location such a marking may appear.

Description a hot-dip galvanized coating. A hex bolt does not have a washer face on its bearing surface as does a hex cap screw, nor does it
have a machined point. Its body tolerances are not as close as those of a cap screw.
Applications/ Designed to be used in highly corrosive environments (ie. coastal locales and heavily polluted atmospheres). May be inserted into
Advantages an oversized hole and should be assembled with a nut.
Machine bolts shall be manufactured from steel which conforms to the following chemical composition requirements:
Material Phosphorus: 0.06% maximum; Sulfur: 0.15% maximum.
Bolts of a length < 3X nominal diameter: Rockwell B69 - B100.

Hardness Bolts of a length => 3X nominal diameter: Rockwell B100 maximum.
Tensile Strength 60,000 psi. minimum.
**Product standards require the manufacturer’s head marking to appear on the top of all bolts 1/4” diameter and larger. “X” represents one location such a marking may appear.

Description Round head bolt with a square neck under the head, and a unified thread pitch, made from austenitic alloy stainless steel.
Applications/ Same design advantages as a low carbon carriage bolt but for use in environments which require general atmospheric corrosion
Advantages resistance.
18-8 stainless steel carriage bolts are made from one of the following austenitic alloys: 302 HQ, 303, 303Se, 304, XM7, all of which
Material are characterized as having a chromium content of 17-19% and nickel content of 8-10%.
The austenitic alloys develop their strength through work hardening during the fastener manufacturing process, as seen from the
Heat Treatment hardness properties below. The only heat treatment normally available on austenitic stainless alloys is annealing, which is done at
approximately 1900°F to a dead soft condition and is not normally thermally reversible.
Hardness 1/4 through 1/2 in. diameter: Rockwell B95 - C32.
Yield Strength 1/4 through 1/2 in. diameter, 2.25D and longer: 65,000 psi. minimum
Tensile Strength 1/4 through 1/2 in. diameter, 2.25D and longer: 100,000 - 150,000 psi. minimum
Elongation in 4D 1/4 through 1/2 in. diameter: 20% minimum
Minimum Thread
The minimum length of thread shall be equal to twice the basic bolt diameter plus 0.25 in. for bolts 6 in. or shorter.

Description An unslotted hex-washer machine screw, but with a thicker flange and serrations on the bearing surface side.
Designed for use in applications where loosening forces are present, such as vibration. The serrations grip to the bearing surface
Applications/
so that significantly more torque is needed to loosen than to tighten the screw. Flange provides more strength than a standard
Advantages machine screw. Eliminates need for a lockwasher or locknut.
