Need source for Alloy 20 metric fasteners in US

Need source for Alloy 20 metric fasteners in US

Need source for Alloy 20 metric fasteners in US

(OP)
Current project involves hex nuts, hex cap screws and double end studs in Stainless but would like to have better yeild than A4 (316) can provide.

Does anyone have a good supplier for Alloy 20 (Carpenter Tech is the parent) or a similar readily available metric? Sizes are M20 and M24 on this part.

Also posting in Welding Bonding & Fasteners forum.

Thanks!

There are 300-series stainless steel fasteners that are stronger than A4.  Bufab (formerly called Bulten) in Sweden makes 300-series fasteners that meet property class 10.9 requirements.  ARP in California makes high strength stainless steel studs and other fasteners for racing and other high end applications.

I would suggest that you consider using 2205.  Good strength and corrosion resistance.  I like duplex fasteners becuse of the higher stress cracking resistance.
Bulten has a lot of experience.  I have also seen them from Vegas and Grandeur.

In Edmonton AB, Canada you can try two source we use on a regular basis:

Alloy 20 metric can be a challenge however we have had fair luck thru these two supply houses.  Not always fast yet usually they can get it.

unclesyd - I have talked to Mike and will email him the requirements!!
We have used 2205 but the issue is delivery time for the studs needed.

THANKS!!
