How to thread a Stainless Steel Rod?
The SS 304 Threaded Rod can be threaded very easily and it is quite versatile. It is preferred for applications that require high strength and corrosion resistance. They have a good ability to join different types of fasteners.
UNJF vs UNF Threads
The UNJF and UNF Threads are quite identical, except that the UNJF threads have a much larger root radius compared to the standard UNF thread. Also, proper inspection must be performed on the UNJF threads.
Difference between 304 Stainless Steel Threaded Rod (A2 or B8), 316 (A4 or B8M) and 18-8
The 304 Stainless Steel Threaded Rod is known for its high strength and good resistance to corrosion. The A2 Stainless Steel Threaded Rod is ideally designed for applications involving a huge amount of stress and tension. The material is non-magnetic with high chromium, nickel and low carbon. This composition enhances its formability. The A2-70 Threaded Rod is an acid-proof grade where cold work is done for providing a min tensile strength of 700 MPa.
The 316 stainless steel threaded rod has better properties like higher corrosion-resisting abilities than the 304 threaded rods. Thus, they are more expensive too. The A4-70 threaded rod can be used in marine and highly corrosive environments. The A4-80 threaded rod is a stainless steel grade which is acid proof, and they are cold worked to offer the min tensile strength of 800 MPa.
The 18-8 Stainless Steel Threaded Rod has thread along its entire length and comes with a plain finish. The material is slightly magnetic and it provides strength and has good resistance to corrosion.
DIN 975 vs DIN 976 Threaded Rod
The DIN 975 threaded rod is long, cylindrical, and has threads running from one end to the other. It comes with external machine screw threads. DIN 976 is an upgradation of the DIN 975 threaded rod, and it is more popularly used these days.
What does ACME thread stand for?
The ACME thread is an American Screw thread with a section between the V threads and square threads.
