A4 Stainless Steel Internally Threaded Dowel Pin combine the dimensional form of GB/T 120.1 / ISO 8735 with the material properties of grade A4-80 (316): superior, including marine and chloride environments, largely non-magnetic, service range approx. -200 °C to +400 °C. This page summarizes the grade data, its corrosion behavior in service, the comparable grades, and the sizes supplied.
Why Choose A4 Stainless Steel for Internally Threaded Dowel Pin — GB/T 120.1 / ISO 8735 (Series 100)
Specified for marine, coastal and chemical applications. For internally threaded dowel pin — gb/t 120.1 / iso 8735 (series 100), 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 internally threaded dowel pin — gb/t 120.1 / iso 8735 (series 100): (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 Internally Threaded Dowel Pin — GB/T 120.1 / ISO 8735 (Series 100), 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.
