Alloy 20 Allen screws are externally threaded fasteners typically driven into a tapped hole or self-tapped material. TorqBolt manufactures Alloy 20 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".
Alloy 20 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.
Alloy 20 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 Alloy 20 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.
Super-austenitic stainless steels are high-molybdenum (Mo ≥ 6%), high-nitrogen austenitic alloys positioned above the 316L envelope but below nickel-alloy cost. They deliver chloride-pitting resistance approaching duplex grades while retaining the formability and weldability of austenitic structure — ideal for seawater + flue-gas-desulfurization service.
254 SMO (UNS S31254) is the benchmark with PREN ~43, formulated for the most aggressive chloride + sulfuric acid service. 904L (N08904) is the original 4.5% Mo super-austenitic, widely specified for sulfuric-acid plants. Alloy 20 (N08020) is a Cu-bearing variant optimized specifically for hot sulfuric acid (50-80%) where standard austenitics fail rapidly. AL-6XN (N08367) and 654 SMO (S32654) extend service to higher pitting resistance with 6.5%+ Mo.
Super-austenitic fasteners are supplied per ASTM A276 / A479 with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certification including pitting-resistance testing per ASTM G48 Method A at the temperature appropriate for the alloy. Welding requires Ni-base filler (alloy 625 / C-276) to avoid molybdenum segregation in the weld pool that would create preferential corrosion sites. NACE MR0175 sour-service certification is standard.
