Is it necessary to use stainless steel for the bolts and nuts of stainless steel containers?
Thread Content
Should the bolts and nuts used for stainless steel equipment indeed be made of stainless steel? Let’s discuss this: if it is used, the equipment flanges might be very heavy, and it is common to encounter a situation where the bolt area is insufficient during calculations
It should not be necessary, especially for containers under high pressure. Stainless steel bolts can easily get stuck and cannot be removed. And it seems the strength isn’t enough either.

It is recommended to use stainless steel for fasteners that come into contact with media; otherwise, there is no need to use stainless steel. Stainless steel fasteners are not easy to calculate for, and they require relatively many specifications.
No need; the heat exchanger I just designed wasn’t useful at all. It’s possible to calculate the required materials using SW6.
We work on nuclear power projects. All bolts must be made of stainless steel, and those used for rooting must be entirely imported.
Under normal circumstances, only those who are wealthy but foolish use stainless steel
For the bolts and nuts of stainless steel equipment, it is of course best to use stainless steel materials as well. Since the use of stainless steel equipment is required by the manufacturing process, there’s no need to cut corners on it. It depends on whether it’s needed or not. There’s really no need to consider not using it.
