Standard steel fasteners quickly lose their tensile strength and begin to creep or oxidize at high temperatures. SRG Fasteners manufactures specialized high-temperature bolting designed for continuous service in furnaces, jet engines, and high-pressure steam lines.
We utilize specialized alloys such as Inconel 718, ASTM A193 Grade B16, and Nimonic alloys to ensure safe and reliable flanged connections during severe thermal cycling.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to standard bolts at high temperatures?
Standard carbon steel bolts will experience 'creep' (slow permanent deformation under stress) and rapid oxidation (scaling) at temperatures above 400°C (750°F), leading to joint failure.
