Technical Superiority That Lasts Decades

Our 316 stainless steel threaded rods laugh at corrosion. Salt spray tests show 5,000+ hours without rust—3x longer than 304 grade. Check these specs:

Grade	Tensile Strength (psi)	Corrosion Resistance	Temp Limit (°F)
316	84,000	Marine-grade	1,600
304	73,000	Moderate	1,500

Head-to-Head: Why We Beat 95% of Suppliers

While others sell "stainless" rods with 0.2% impurities, ours hit 99.9% purity. See the difference:

• ✔️ Precision threading: ±0.001" tolerance vs. industry-standard ±0.005"
• ✔️ Certified load ratings: Third-party validated for safety-critical applications

FAQS on 5 16 18 stainless steel threaded rod

Q: What are the common applications of 5/16-18 stainless steel threaded rods?

A: 5/16-18 stainless steel threaded rods are widely used in construction, automotive, and marine industries for fastening and structural support due to their corrosion resistance and durability.

Q: How does 3/4-316 stainless steel threaded rod differ from standard stainless steel?

A: The 3/4-316 stainless steel threaded rod offers superior corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments like saltwater, thanks to its higher molybdenum content compared to standard grades like 304.

Q: What does the "1/2-13" specification mean in stainless steel threaded rods?

A: The "1/2-13" denotes a rod with a 1/2-inch diameter and 13 threads per inch, commonly used for medium-duty mechanical assemblies requiring precise threading.

Q: Can M20 stainless steel threaded rods be used in outdoor environments?

A: Yes, M20 stainless steel threaded rods are ideal for outdoor use due to their resistance to rust and weathering, especially if made from grades like 304 or 316.

Q: Is a 5/16-18 stainless steel threaded rod compatible with nuts from other materials?

A: While compatible, pairing it with stainless steel nuts is recommended to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term performance in corrosive environments.

Q: What industries prefer 316 stainless steel threaded rods over other grades?

A: Industries like chemical processing, marine, and food production favor 316 stainless steel threaded rods for their exceptional resistance to chlorides and acids.

Q: How do I choose between M20 and 1/2-13 stainless steel threaded rods?

A: M20 (metric) rods suit applications requiring a 20mm diameter, while 1/2-13 (imperial) is ideal for projects using inch-based measurements. Match the specification to your system's requirements.
