The Marine Industry
Environmental
conditions
in this
Industry
are extremely corrosive and requires
materials with high anti-corrosive qualities.
To compliment our fasteners we can offer a
range of Marine tackle including shackles,
eye bolts, cleats, pulleys, hooks, blocks,
bollards, hinges, winches etc. in 316 & 304
Stainless Steel.
Standard Stainless Steel fasteners
are
made in several grades in varying strengths
A2-50
A2-70
A4-70
A4-80
Recommended for these conditions would
be A4 316 Grade for its ability to withstand
highly corrosive salt sea
spray whilst
maintaining its finish.
If strength is a priority A4-80 should be
your choice due to its minimum High Tensile
value of 800 N/mm2.
For fasteners used in more sheltered area's
out of direct contact with salt sea spray,
A2 Stainless Steel, Brass, or even coated
steels may be an option
e.g. Nickel,
Chrome, Zinc, Galvanised, Xylan etc.
