Commonly Requested Materials:

What are the Common Materials Used to Manufacture Custom U-Bolts & Fasteners?

Stainless Steel

  • 304 / 304L – The most commonly used austenitic stainless steel, known for excellent corrosion resistance and versatility.
    • 304 – Standard grade with 18% chromium and 8% nickel, widely used in food processing, construction, and industrial applications.
      304L – Low-carbon variant, offering improved weldability and reduced risk of carbide precipitation during welding.
  • 316 / 316L – Enhanced corrosion resistance due to molybdenum content, making it ideal for marine and chemical environments.
    • 316 – Superior chloride resistance, commonly used in marine applications, medical instruments, and chemical processing.
    • 316L – Low-carbon version, minimizing carbide precipitation for better weldability in corrosive environments.
  • 321 – Titanium-stabilized stainless steel, designed for high-temperature applications.
    Resistant to intergranular corrosion, making it suitable for aircraft exhaust systems, heat exchangers, and refinery equipment.
  • 347 – Niobium-stabilized stainless steel, offering high-temperature strength and resistance to oxidation.
    Used in aerospace, power generation, and high-heat environments where thermal stability is critical.
  • 410 – A martensitic stainless steel with high strength and wear resistance, but lower corrosion resistance compared to austenitic grades.
    Commonly used in fasteners, turbine blades, and automotive components where hardness and durability are required.

Aluminum

  • 6061T6 – Lightweight yet strong, ideal for oxidation resistance in structural applications.

Naval Brass

  • C46400 – Superior saltwater corrosion resistance, perfect for marine environments.

Specialty Alloys – Engineered for extreme conditions, including:

  • A-286 – High-strength nickel alloy with corrosion resistance.
  • Inconel® – Exceptional high-temperature durability and chemical resistance.
  • MP35N – Nickel-based alloy known for extreme strength and fatigue resistance.
  • C276 – Highly resistant to acids and harsh chemicals, used in corrosive environments.

Protective Coating Options

To further enhance durability and performance, we offer a range of protective coatings designed for specific applications:

  • Black Plating – Improves surface wear resistance.
  • Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) – Superior corrosion protection for outdoor environments.
  • Zinc Plating – Effective oxidation resistance in industrial settings.
  • Polyolefin Coatings – Provides chemical resistance and impact durability.

Common Materials Used for Custom U-Bolts and Fasteners

The following materials are frequently requested for our custom U-bolts, stock U-bolts, and fasteners:
