Product Description

Products Features

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.

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.

Ease of Installation

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

Application Fields

🚀 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.

🔥 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.

⚛️ 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).

❄️ Food Freezing

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

QWhat is the lowest temperature that fasteners can withstand?
Certain grades of low temperature fasteners, such as those made from Alloy 718 (2.4668) and A-286 (1.4980), can withstand temperatures as low as -273℃ — approaching absolute zero.
QWhy are stainless steel fasteners preferred for low temperature?
Austenitic stainless steels have a face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure, which does not undergo ductile-to-brittle transition at low temperatures.
QWhat industries commonly use these fasteners?
These are widely used in aerospace (rocket fuel tanks), LNG energy (storage tanks), superconductivity (MRI equipment), and food cold chain.
QHow does low temperature affect preload force?
At low temperatures, thermal contraction causes materials to shrink, which increases thread friction and enhances locking performance.
QWhat standards govern fastener materials?
Common standards include DIN EN 10269, ASTM B637 / B446, and DIN EN10088 / 10272 for stainless steels.
QDifference between carbon steel and nickel alloy?
Carbon steel can become brittle at low temperatures, while nickel-based alloys retain excellent toughness and strength down to -196℃ or below.
