Product Description

Product 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 (such as in SpaceX's cryogenic propulsion system). The wind tunnel model employs a low-temperature locking device, which enhances the connection stability through the thermal contraction effect.

2. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) & 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 & Quantum Tech

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 & Cold Chain

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

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat are low temperature fasteners and why are they needed?
Low temperature fasteners are specially designed bolts, nuts, screws, and other connecting components engineered to maintain mechanical integrity and performance in cryogenic environments (typically below -40℃). They are required in industries such as LNG, aerospace, superconducting technology, and cold chain logistics where standard fasteners would become brittle and fail.
QWhat is the lowest temperature that low temperature fasteners can withstand?
Certain grades such as Alloy 718 (2.4668), A-286 (1.4980), and austenitic stainless steels like X2CrNiMoN17-13-3 (1.4429) can withstand temperatures as low as -273℃, approaching absolute zero. These are used in quantum computing cryostats and superconducting magnet applications.
QWhich materials are most commonly used for low temperature fasteners?
The most common materials include austenitic stainless steels (e.g., 316L, 321, 316Ti), nickel-based superalloys (e.g., Alloy 625, Alloy 718, Alloy C22), and specialized alloy steels such as 34CrNiMo6 and 42CrMo4. The choice depends on the required temperature range, corrosion resistance, and mechanical load requirements.
QWhat executive standards apply to low temperature fasteners?
Low temperature fasteners are manufactured and tested according to internationally recognized standards including DIN EN 10269 (European standard for fastener steels at elevated and low temperatures), ASTM B637, ASTM B446/B564, ASTM B574/B564, and DIN EN10088/10272. These standards ensure consistent material composition, mechanical properties, and testing procedures.
QHow does low temperature affect the preload and locking performance of fasteners?
At cryogenic temperatures, thermal contraction causes the fastener material to shrink, which increases thread friction and generally improves locking performance. For example, A-286 stainless steel screws at -170℃ exhibit enhanced locking due to this thermal contraction effect. Glass fiber/epoxy composite joints show approximately 15% higher load-bearing capacity at -40℃ compared to room temperature.
QAre low temperature fasteners also corrosion resistant?
Yes. Most low temperature fasteners, particularly those made from austenitic stainless steels and nickel-based alloys, offer excellent corrosion resistance in addition to their cryogenic performance. Stainless steel fasteners conforming to ISO 3506-1 provide both corrosion resistance and the necessary mechanical properties required for low-temperature service environments.
