A4 Stainless Steel Hex Socket Cone Point Set Screw — GB/T 77 / ISO 4026 (Series 022) pairs the standard GB/T 77 / ISO 4026 with a A4 Stainless Steel base material. The sections below cover why engineers select this grade for hex socket cone point set screw — gb/t 77 / iso 4026 (series 022), its corrosion and temperature behavior, and the sizes available.
Why Choose A4 Stainless Steel for Hex Socket Cone Point Set Screw — GB/T 77 / ISO 4026 (Series 022)
Specified for marine, coastal and chemical applications. For hex socket cone point set screw — gb/t 77 / iso 4026 (series 022), this matters when superior, including marine and chloride environments is the primary requirement.
Mechanical & Physical Properties
| Grade designation | A4-80 (316) |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Largely non-magnetic |
| Service temperature | approx. -200 °C to +400 °C |
| Corrosion characteristic | Superior, including marine and chloride environments |
Galvanic & Galling Considerations
Two important notes for stainless hex socket cone point set screw — gb/t 77 / iso 4026 (series 022): (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 Hex Socket Cone Point Set Screw — GB/T 77 / ISO 4026 (Series 022), the alternative stainless grade is A2 (304). A2 (304) suits general indoor and outdoor service; A4 (316) adds molybdenum for marine and chloride environments. Where higher strength matters more than corrosion, switch to plated alloy-steel class 8.8 or 10.9.
