# A2 (304) Stainless Steel Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt)

Anchors & Concrete Fixings · Trade series (torque-controlled expansion anchor)

Mechanical properties, corrosion behaviour and the full dimensional range for this grade.

A2 Stainless Steel Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt) are supplied to ISO 3506 group A2 (304 / 1.4301), commonly supplied A2-70. Corrosion behaviour is good general corrosion resistance, the material is largely non-magnetic, and the usable service range is approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint. In practice this grade is the most common stainless group for indoor and general outdoor fasteners.

- **Grade:** ISO 3506 group A2 (304 / 1.4301), commonly supplied A2-70
- **Corrosion resistance:** Good general corrosion resistance
- **Magnetic response:** Largely non-magnetic
- **Service temperature:** approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint

Property values are typical for the grade. Certified mechanical test data is available on request for production orders.

A2 Stainless Steel Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt) are supplied to our own published dimensions — this is a trade-series article rather than one covered by a dimensional standard, so confirm the figures against the part you are replacing. The grade provides good general corrosion resistance and is largely non-magnetic; the practical service range is approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint.

## Why Choose A2 Stainless Steel for Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt)

The most common stainless group for indoor and general outdoor fasteners. For wedge anchors (through-bolt), this matters when good general corrosion resistance is the primary requirement.

## Mechanical & Physical Properties

| Grade designation | ISO 3506 group A2 (304 / 1.4301), commonly supplied A2-70 |
| --- | --- |
| Magnetic response | Largely non-magnetic |
| Service temperature | approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint |
| Corrosion characteristic | Good general corrosion resistance |

## Galvanic & Galling Considerations

Two important notes for stainless wedge anchors (through-bolt): (1) stainless can gall on stainless threads under load — use a thread lubricant or anti-galling compound, especially for M6 and below; (2) when joined to aluminum or galvanized steel, stainless can drive galvanic corrosion of the less-noble metal in wet service — isolate with a coating or sleeve where appropriate.

## Comparable Grades

For Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt), the alternative stainless grade is A4 (316). Choose A2 (304) for general use and A4 (316) wherever chlorides are present; the molybdenum in A4 is the whole difference. Remember that stainless is the corrosion answer, not the strength answer — for load, look at class 8.8 or 10.9 instead.

## Using Stainless Fasteners in Aluminum

Stainless steel is more noble than aluminum, so with an electrolyte present — rain, condensation, salt spray — the aluminum becomes the anode and corrodes at the joint. Area ratio decides how bad it gets: a small stainless fastener in a large aluminum section is normally acceptable, a large stainless fastener in thin aluminum is not. Where the joint gets wet, isolate the metals with a coated or nylon washer and a sealant, or specify an aluminum or coated fastener instead.

## Sizes of Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt) Available in A2 Stainless Steel

Dimensions are independent of the material: the table above lists the sizes supplied, and on this page every one of them is quoted in A2 Stainless Steel. The catalogue's default material column has been omitted here so it cannot be read as contradicting that.

## Need this anchor & concrete fixing in a grade that is not listed?

A2 Stainless Steel is one of the grades the catalog describes. Embedment depth, thread size, body length and corrosion protection are the variables; capacity remains a concrete design value, not a property of the anchor alone. Made by hot forging or thread rolling.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

## Applications & Industries

Wedge Anchors are bought for a small number of well-defined jobs. These are the ones we ship them for. Stocked from M8 to M20.

### Industries that specify Wedge Anchors

- **Machine hold-down:** Anchoring plant that transmits vibration into the floor.
- **Safety barriers & racking:** Bollards, guard rail and pallet racking feet.
- **Structural steel to concrete:** Column base plates and bracket fixings in a concrete slab.
- **Fit-out & drylining:** Fixings into board, block and hollow wall.
- **Construction & structural:** Base plates, brackets and steelwork fixed to concrete.
- **Building services:** Suspending tray, duct, pipe and sprinkler runs from a soffit.

### Typical applications

- set by tightening the nut to a stated setting torque
- hole diameter equals the anchor diameter
- through-fixing a steel fixture into concrete
- fixing a steel fixture through to a solid substrate
- suspended services on threaded rod
- making a load-bearing threaded fixing in concrete or masonry

### Service conditions to specify against

- **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
- **Exterior structural:** Hot-dip galvanised options for external steelwork; allow for the thicker coating in the mating thread.
- **Hole preparation:** Drilled diameter, depth and cleanliness are part of the specification; an uncleaned hole is the single most common cause of a failed anchor.
- **The concrete governs:** Capacity is a property of the base material and the geometry — grade, edge distance, spacing and cracked or uncracked — not of the anchor alone. Work to the anchor manufacturer's ETA or ICC-ES report.

### Where to use something else

- Not for a substrate the type is not qualified in — an expansion anchor near an edge or in hollow block will split it.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can A2 Stainless Steel Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt) be used with aluminum?

Yes, but stainless drives mild galvanic corrosion of aluminum in wet service — isolate with a coating, sleeve or paint, or accept the trade-off if the joint is dry and indoor.

### What's the service temperature limit for A2 Stainless Steel?

The practical service range is approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint.

### Can A2 Stainless Steel replace plated alloy steel structurally?

Only at the standard strength classes — A2-70 / A4-80 are roughly equivalent to class 7 steel; A4-100 reaches class 8.8. For class 10.9 or 12.9 strength, plated alloy steel is required.

### Are A2 Stainless Steel Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt) magnetic?

A2 Stainless Steel Wedge Anchors (Through-Bolt) are largely non-magnetic.
