Can carbon steel foot bolts be used for stainless steel tower vessels?
Thread Content
I would appreciate it if the teachers could give some advice: can carbon steel foundation bolts be used for stainless steel towers?
Yes, and it has better strength; just add a stainless steel pressure plate
The tower skirt base can be made of carbon steel, let alone the floor adhesive bolts
Of course, the strength can be increased, but it’s best to add a stainless steel gasket of the same material to prevent electrocorrosion. At the same time, ensure proper corrosion protection.
Thank you, senior. Could this lead to electrochemical corrosion or carburization?
Carburizing won’t do it; the purpose of coating steel plates is for corrosion protection
Absolutely possible； Just ensure good corrosion protection ； For many stainless steel towers, the entire base skirt is made of carbon steel
Sure. Carbon steel also has better strength.
Sure, ensure proper corrosion protection and apply lubricant
There are few foundation bolts made of pure carbon steel; most of them are high-strength bolts. The material and dimensions should be specified during the design phase. These bolts are generally custom-made, and projects with strict quality controls require mechanical testing. As for whether carbon steel can be used in place of stainless steel, several people above have already mentioned that
