Product Description

Products Features

1. Low Temperature Stability

It maintains high strength even below -60℃, preventing brittle fracture. It is suitable for equipment such as liquefied natural gas pumps and liquid nitrogen pumps.

Carbon steel or alloy steel (such as 35CrMoA/42CrMoA) with a body-centered cubic crystal structure can have its hardness and impact performance optimized through tempering heat treatment.

The preload force is positively correlated with temperature: For A-286 stainless steel screws, at -275℉ (-170℃), due to the thermal contraction effect, the thread friction increases, and the locking performance improves.

The glass fiber/epoxy resin composite material joints have a 15% higher load-bearing capacity at -40℃ compared to at room temperature, and the pre-tightening torque effect is even more significant.

2. Resistance to Corrosion

Stainless steel fasteners (as per the ISO 3506-1 standard) possess both corrosion resistance and mechanical properties in low-temperature environments.

Wind turbine bolts (such as 10.9/12.9 grade) need to withstand multi-axis stress and dynamic loads, and should avoid brittle fracture at low temperatures.

3. Ease of Installation

The low-friction coefficient design facilitates installation and disassembly in low-temperature environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What materials are commonly used for low temperature fasteners?
Low temperature fasteners are typically made from austenitic stainless steels (such as 316L, 321, 316Ti), nickel-based alloys (such as Alloy 718, Alloy 625), and special alloy steels (such as 34CrNiMo6, 30CrNiMo8). These materials maintain toughness and strength at extremely low temperatures, preventing brittle fracture.
Q What is the lowest temperature that low temperature fasteners can withstand?
Certain grades of low temperature fasteners — such as those made from Alloy 718 (2.4668), A-286 (1.4980), and 316LN (1.4429) — can withstand temperatures as low as -273℃, which is near absolute zero. This makes them suitable for quantum computing cryostats and superconducting magnet applications.
Q What standards govern low temperature fasteners?
Low temperature fasteners are governed by several international standards, including DIN EN 10269 (European standard for steels and nickel alloys for fasteners at elevated and low temperatures), ASTM B637 / B446 / B564 (American standards for nickel alloy bars and forgings), and DIN EN 10088/10272 for stainless steel products. ISO 3506-1 also covers stainless steel fastener mechanical properties.
Q Why are low temperature fasteners important in LNG applications?
In LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) applications, operating temperatures can reach as low as -162°C. Standard carbon steel fasteners become brittle at such temperatures and risk sudden fracture under load. Low temperature fasteners made from materials like 316L or nickel alloys retain their ductility and impact resistance, ensuring safe and reliable flange and pipeline connections in LNG storage tanks and transport vessels.
Q How does thermal contraction affect the performance of low temperature fasteners?
At low temperatures, thermal contraction increases the friction between fastener threads, which actually enhances the locking performance and preload retention. For example, A-286 stainless steel screws at -170℃ demonstrate improved thread friction due to this effect. Additionally, glass fiber/epoxy composite joints show a 15% higher load-bearing capacity at -40℃ compared to room temperature.
Q Can low temperature fasteners also resist corrosion?
Yes. Many low temperature fasteners — particularly those made from austenitic stainless steel (e.g., 316L, 321) and nickel-based alloys (e.g., Alloy C22, Alloy 59) — offer excellent corrosion resistance in addition to low-temperature toughness. They comply with ISO 3506-1 standards and are widely used in marine, chemical, and energy environments where both cryogenic performance and corrosion resistance are required.
