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.

🌐Application Fields

🚀 1. Aerospace

Rocket fuel storage tanks, liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen pipeline connections. The wind tunnel model employs a low-temperature locking device, which enhances the connection stability through the thermal contraction effect.

🔥 2. LNG and Energy

LNG storage tanks, transport ships and pipeline flange connections (with working temperatures as low as -162°C). Liquid nitrogen/liquid helium storage equipment (such as for fixing superconducting magnets).

🔬 3. Superconductivity

The cryogenic support structure of superconducting magnets (such as those in MRI equipment). The cryogenic thermostat of a quantum computer (close to absolute zero).

❄️ 4. Food Freezing

Fixed shelves for ultra-low temperature cold storage (-80°C). Liquid nitrogen quick-freezing equipment conveyor belt fasteners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What are low temperature fasteners and why are they necessary?
Low temperature fasteners are specialized bolts, nuts, and screws engineered to maintain mechanical integrity at extremely cold temperatures. Standard fasteners can become brittle and fail under cryogenic conditions.
Q What materials are commonly used for low temperature fasteners?
Common materials include austenitic stainless steels (such as 1.4301, 1.4404), nickel-based superalloys (such as Alloy 718), and alloy steels (such as 42CrMo4).
Q Which executive standards apply to low temperature fasteners?
Standards include DIN EN 10269 (steels for low temperatures), ASTM B637 (nickel alloy bars), and ISO 3506-1 (stainless steel fasteners).
Q What is the lowest operating temperature that low temperature fasteners can withstand?
The most advanced fasteners, such as those made from Alloy 718 or 316LN, are rated for service down to -273℃, which is near absolute zero.
Q How does low temperature affect the preload and locking performance of fasteners?
At low temperatures, thermal contraction causes materials to shrink, which typically increases thread friction, enhancing locking performance and load-bearing capacity.
Q In which industries are low temperature fasteners most widely used?
They are critical in Aerospace, LNG and Energy, Superconductivity/Quantum Technology, and Food Freezing/Cold Chain Logistics.
