Weston Stainless, Midland, UK, is a well-known supplier and manufacturer of high-grade stainless steel products, including precision-engineered and long–lasting fasteners. Of their products, Stainless Steel 422 Fasteners are particularly known for their superior strength and resistance to heat. These fasteners, which are produced using Grade 422 stainless steel, are offered in several shapes such as bolts, nuts, screws, and washers. The alloy, a martensitic stainless steel, offers greater toughness and corrosion resistance, which makes it ideal for challenging industrial applications. Their high-performance properties make them perfect for application in harsh environments that demand durability and heat resistance.
Stainless Steel 422 Fasteners contain a chemical composition of about 12% Chromium, 1% Molybdenum, 1% Vanadium, and 0.2-0.3% Carbon, with Nickel and Manganese in trace amounts, which increases their hardness and corrosion resistance. These fasteners possess very good mechanical properties such as tensile strength of approximately 965 MPa, yield strength of 830 MPa, and hardness of up to 45 HRC. They also have good physical properties in the form of high thermal conductivity and resistance against oxidation, which makes them appropriate for use under high temperature conditions. Due to their capacity to preserve their strength at high temperatures, they are extremely dependable in industrial applications.
