AISI 304n Stainless Steel Allen screws are externally threaded fasteners typically driven into a tapped hole or self-tapped material. TorqBolt manufactures AISI 304n Stainless Steel Allen screws per ASME B18.3 (socket products), ASME B18.6.3 (machine screws), DIN 912 / 7991 / 6912, and ISO 4762 / 10642, in metric M3–M48 and imperial 0–1/2".
AISI 304n Stainless Steel Allen screws are available in cap (cylindrical), button (low-profile dome), countersunk / flat (82° or 90°), pan, fillister, truss, and shoulder configurations. Countersunk per DIN 7991 with 90° head angle is standard for metric; 82° per ASME B18.6.3 for imperial.
AISI 304n Stainless Steel Allen screws use full-thread or partial-thread (length-under-head) configurations. Machine screws are typically full-thread; cap screws use partial thread for grip control. Threading per ASME B1.1 (UNC/UNF) or ISO 965 (metric coarse/fine), Class 2A or 6g default. Length-under-head is measured from the bearing surface for hex/cap, from the largest face for countersunk. Custom lengths quoted to drawing.
TorqBolt produces AISI 304n Stainless Steel Allen set screws (cup-point, cone-point, dog-point, flat-point, hex-socket DIN 913/914/915/916), shoulder screws (precision-ground shoulder for pivot applications), and self-tapping screws (Type AB, Type 25). All certified per EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 with optional NACE MR0175 sour-service compliance.
Austenitic stainless steels form the workhorse 300-series — face-centered cubic Fe-Cr-Ni alloys delivering excellent corrosion resistance, formability, weldability, and toughness from cryogenic to ~600°C. They are non-magnetic in the annealed condition and the default choice for food, dairy, pharmaceutical, marine, and general process-industry fasteners.
AISI 304 (18Cr-8Ni, UNS S30400) is the baseline; 304L (low-C) prevents weld sensitization for thicker sections. AISI 316 adds 2-3% Mo for chloride pitting resistance, and 316L is the welding-grade marine standard. 309 / 310 are the high-Cr grades for elevated temperatures (to ~1100°C). 321 / 347 are Ti / Nb-stabilized for stress-relieved welded service. 304LN / 316LN add nitrogen for higher yield without sacrificing corrosion.
Austenitic fasteners are supplied per ASTM A193 grade B8 (304), B8M (316), B8T (321), B8C (347) and ASTM A276 / A479 for general bar. EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certs cover mechanicals, hardness (HB ~150-217), intergranular-corrosion testing (ASTM A262 Practice E), and surface condition. NACE MR0175 sour-service compliance maintained below the hardness threshold for SSC.
