Duplex 31803 Socket Cap Screws manufactured at TorqBolt UNS equivalent of 31803, resistant to corrosion with a combination of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen with restricted chemical composition as compared to 2205.Dimensional standards as per ANSI B18.3, B18.3.1M, DIN 912, DIN 6912, DIN 7984, ANSI B18.3, ISO 4762, UNI 5931, BS 2470, BS 4168 are provided.
The raw material of these fasteners is classified as Duplex Stainless Steel. Being a PED certified Fasteners Manufacturer by TUV Rheinland,our fasteners are accompanied with EN 10204 3.1/3.2 certification. Duplex 31803 Socket Cap Screws are available in hot forged,cold forged and bar stock machined conditions depending upon the order quantity.
Duplex 31803 Socket Cap Screws — Specifications & Dimensions
Duplex 31803 Socket Cap screws are externally threaded fasteners typically driven into a tapped hole or self-tapped material. TorqBolt manufactures Duplex 31803 Socket Cap 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".
Drive Types
Hex socket (Allen) — ASME B18.3 / DIN 912, primary for high-torque industrial use
Duplex 31803 Socket Cap 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.
Thread & Length
Duplex 31803 Socket Cap 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.
Specialty Screws
TorqBolt produces Duplex 31803 Socket Cap 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.
Duplex & Super Duplex Stainless Steels
Duplex stainless steels have a roughly 50/50 ferrite-austenite microstructure, doubling the yield strength of austenitic 304/316 grades while improving chloride pitting + stress-corrosion resistance. Duplex is the modern default for offshore platform fasteners, desalination plants, and sour-gas piping where austenitics fail to chloride SCC and martensitics fail to hydrogen embrittlement.
Duplex 2205 (UNS S32205 / S31803) is the standard grade with PREN ~35, suitable for chloride-bearing service to ~250°C. Super Duplex 2507 (S32750) and Zeron 100 (S32760) push PREN to 41-42 with higher Cr+Mo+N, qualifying for the most aggressive seawater + sour-well environments. SA-182 F51 / F53 / F55 / F60 are the ASME forged-flange equivalents.
Phase balance is critical: ferrite content must stay within 35-65% in weld + HAZ to maintain corrosion + impact properties (ASTM A923 testing). Solution anneal at 1040-1100°C followed by water quench locks the duplex microstructure. Fasteners ship per ASTM A276 / A479 with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certs including ferrite count and Charpy impact at -46°C. NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 sour-service certification is standard.
