Mechanical strength

Our product range includes ultra-high strength stainless steel fasteners with good ductility.

Ultra-high strength fasteners

We can deliver stainless steel fasteners ranging from strength class 8.8 to 16.9 for applications where downsizing, clamping force and strength are critical. Our products offer a unique combination of strength and good ductility. BUMAX Stainless steel fasteners are also resistant against hydrogen embrittlement.

Benefits of high strength fasteners:

  • Opportunities to downsize the fastener or reduce the number of fasteners with maintained clamp load.
  • Weight savings.
  • Compact design and smaller screw joints. Ability to withstand higher static or dynamic stresses.
  • Greater safety.
  • Higher resistance against relaxation.
