Alloy Steel Fasteners and Material Options
Alloy steel material options can be discussed for industrial fasteners, stud bolts, threaded rods, bolts, nuts, washers, anchors, special fasteners and drawing-based custom parts where ASTM A193 B7 / B7M, ASTM A320 L7 / L7M or project-specified alloy steel grades are specified by project requirements.
Alloy Steel Materials for Project-Specified Fasteners
Alloy steels are commonly discussed for project-specified industrial fasteners and custom parts where procurement documents specify ASTM A193 B7 / B7M, ASTM A320 L7 / L7M, AISI / SAE / EN / DIN / JIS designations, heat treatment, coating or drawing requirements.
WISINE can discuss alloy steel stud bolts, threaded rods, bolts, nuts, washers, anchors, special fasteners and drawing-based components according to confirmed material grade, product form, quantity, processing requirements and document requirements. ASTM A193 B7 / B7M and ASTM A320 L7 / L7M should not be treated as interchangeable without project confirmation.
