Product Description

Products Features

⚙️ 1. Material Selection

In high-temperature environments (>200℃), 42CrMo chromium-molybdenum alloy steel (such as A193 B7) should be used. It can withstand temperatures up to 480℃ and has a tensile strength of ≥860 MPa.

Extremely cold environment (<-50℃) recommends A320 L7 material with nickel-chromium-molybdenum composite strengthening.

🛡️ 2. Anti-Loosening Technology

The wedge-shaped lock washers (such as the Nord-Lock system) are used. The geometric structure with a slope angle greater than the thread rise angle is adopted to prevent vibration loosening. The radial fine teeth form indentations on the contact surface.

📢
The creep vibration test is used to verify its anti-loosening performance and is applicable to scenarios with dynamic loads such as wind turbine towers and ship decks.

Application Fields

Classification Society Fasteners (Certified Shipbuilding Fasteners) are specialized fasteners rigorously certified by international ship classification societies (such as DNV, ABS, LR). The core application directions include:

01
Ship Structure Connection Bolt/nut combinations for critical parts such as decks and keels. Must comply with ISO 3506-3 standards (salt spray resistance ≥ 720 hours).
02
Power System Fixed Main unit base bolts must pass dynamic load tests (tensile strength ≥ 800 MPa); material is mostly 316L stainless steel.
03
Offshore Platforms Components must pass the -40℃ low-temperature impact test and comply with DNV-OS-C501 specifications.
04
LNG Storage Tanks Low-temperature flange bolts made of nickel-based alloys (Inconel 718) to ensure sealing at -196℃.
05
Dock Mooring System Locking nuts with self-locking function (torque attenuation ≤ 5%) using duplex stainless steel 2205.
06
Wind Turbine Tower Foundation ring bolts (M24–M64) meeting ISO 4014 tolerance grade with shear strength ≥ 600 MPa.
07
Tidal Energy Device Underwater fasteners with bio-adhesion protection treatment (coating thickness ≥ 50 μm).
08
Cross-Sea Bridges Prestressed anchor components must undergo 2 million fatigue tests and comply with the EN 1090 standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat material is best for high-temperature fasteners (>200℃)?
For environments exceeding 200℃, 42CrMo chromium-molybdenum alloy steel (like A193 B7) is recommended. It handles up to 480℃ with a tensile strength of ≥860 MPa.
QHow do these fasteners prevent loosening under vibration?
They utilize wedge-shaped lock washers (Nord-Lock system) with a slope angle greater than the thread rise angle, mechanically locking the fastener. Their effectiveness is verified via creep vibration tests.
QWhich certifications do marine fasteners require?
They must be certified by major international societies such as DNV (Det Norske Veritas), ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), and LR (Lloyd's Register) to ensure safety in maritime environments.
QWhat materials are used for cryogenic LNG applications?
Nickel-based alloys like Inconel 718 are used for LNG flange bolts because they maintain structural integrity and sealing performance at extreme temperatures as low as -196℃.
QWhat are the requirements for offshore wind turbine bolts?
They must meet ISO 4014 tolerance grades for sizes M24 to M64 and possess a shear strength of at least 600 MPa to handle intense structural loads.
QHow are underwater fasteners protected from marine life?
Underwater fasteners undergo specialized bio-adhesion protection treatments with a coating thickness of ≥50 μm to prevent corrosion and organism buildup.
