Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, 17-4 PH, 2205 / 2507 duplex, and titanium when the spec calls for more than standard stainless.

04

MTRs every shipment

Heat and lot traceability with every order. DFARS and PMI documentation when your QA program requires it.

The hardware that runs through
almost every project.

Industrial Fasteners is our catch-all for the mechanical and process assembly hardware that runs through almost every project we quote — socket head cap screws, heavy hex bolts, heavy hex nuts, hardened washers, set screws, and the specs that back them.

If you're specifying for pressure vessels, flanged piping, rotating equipment, machinery builds, or general structural assembly — this is the category.Looking for anchor bolts, structural bolts, or stud bolts as a standalone? See the cross-links below.

What we stock

Six product families.
One supplier.

Stocked deep in the grades you actually call out — metric and inch, plain and coated, standard and heavy pattern.

Grades and specs,
grouped by family.

Industrial fasteners cover a wide range of service conditions. Below is how we organize the specs we work in most often — if your drawing calls out a grade not listed, ask. Most of what you'd pull from a standard isn't far from what we stock or can bring in.

Family 01

Carbon & alloy steel

General-purpose and machinery-grade bolts. Inch-series workhorses through SAE J429 and ASTM A307 / A449.

ASTM A307Grade A · Grade B
  • Grade A
  • Grade B

Low-carbon steel bolts for general-purpose assembly. Grade A for non-critical applications; Grade B for flanged joints at moderate loads and limited temperature.

SAE J429Grade 2 · 5 · 8
  • Grade 2
  • Grade 5
  • Grade 8

Inch-series hex cap screws. Grade 2 for light-duty, Grade 5 medium-carbon for general machinery, Grade 8 alloy steel quenched and tempered for higher-tensile assemblies.

ASTM A449Q&T hex bolt
  • Up to 3″

Quenched and tempered hex bolts with properties similar to SAE Grade 5, extended to larger diameters (up to 3″) not covered by J429. Common in heavy equipment and machinery.

Family 02

High-temperature alloy steel

Chromium-moly (and chromium-moly-vanadium) alloys for pressure vessels, flanged piping, and high-temperature, high-pressure service.

ASTM A193Grade B7
  • 4140 / 4142
  • Q & T

Chromium-molybdenum (4140/4142) alloy steel, quenched and tempered. The workhorse stud and bolt for pressure vessels, flanged piping, and high-temperature, high-pressure service. Refineries, power plants, petrochemical.

ASTM A193Grade B16
  • Cr-Mo-V
  • ~1100°F

Chromium-moly-vanadium alloy, quenched and tempered. Runs above B7's service range — superheated steam piping, high-temperature turbine connections, service up to approximately 1100°F.

Family 03

Stainless steel

304 and 316 austenitic grades plus strain-hardened classes — food, pharma, chemical, marine, pulp & paper, wastewater.

ASTM A193Grade B8 · B8M
  • 304 SS
  • 316 SS
  • Cl. 1 & 2

B8 is 304 stainless for general corrosion service — food, pharmaceutical, chemical at moderate temperatures. B8M upgrades to 316 for chloride and acid resistance — marine, chemical processing, pulp & paper, wastewater. Class 2 is strain-hardened for higher strength at smaller diameters.

ASTM F593Group 1, 2, 3
  • 304/305
  • 316
  • Strain-hard.

Stainless steel bolts, screws, and studs in 18-8 (304/305), 316, and strain-hardened alloys. Covers non-pressure service where A193 isn't required.

Nuts, washers & companion hardware

Bolts alone won't
make the joint.

Match the nut and washer to the bolt grade — pressure-piping and high-strength joints don't tolerate mismatched companion hardware. Here's what we stock to pair with the families above.

  • Heavy hex nuts — grades 2H, 2HM, 4, 7, 7M, 8, 8M. 2H pairs with B7; 8M with B8M.
  • Through-hardened flat washers — Type 1 plain, Type 3 weathering steel. Stocked for A193 B7 stud assemblies and high-strength SHCS.
  • Carbon & alloy hex nuts — Grades A, B, C. The general-purpose nut for A307, A449, and SAE Grade 5 / 8 bolts.
  • Bolt / nut / washer kits shipped together, tagged by heat and lot.

Traceability & documentation

What ships with the bolts.

Every industrial fastener we ship is traceable to heat and lot. Standard with every order where the spec calls for it — and if your QA program needs something we haven't listed, ask. Most documentation asks we get are ones we've answered before.

01

Material Test Reports

MTRs / Mill Test Certificates tied to the heat and lot on every shipment where the spec requires.

02

Certificate of Conformance

Signed C of C confirming the parts were manufactured and tested to the called-out standards.

03

DFARS compliant

Domestic-melt / domestic-pour options for defense work — flag it on the RFQ and we'll source accordingly.

04

FAI on request

First Article Inspection for new programs — dimensional verification and material certs in one package.

05

PMI on request

Positive Material Identification with XRF or OES, ordered per-lot when your program calls for it.

the right category?
