Product Description:
Automotive:
Shoulder bolts are extensively used in the automotive industry due to their critical role in ensuring smooth movement and proper alignment of various vehicle components. They are an integral part of suspension systems, engine components, braking systems, and even in components such as steering mechanisms and linkages. These bolts are designed to provide the right amount of spacing between parts while allowing for controlled movement and rotation, which is essential for maintaining the performance, safety, and durability of the vehicle.
In automotive suspension systems, shoulder bolts are used to secure bushings and bearings, allowing parts such as control arms and suspension links to move with minimal friction. This smooth movement is critical for maintaining ride quality and handling characteristics of the vehicle. A suspension system that operates smoothly ensures better control and stability, preventing wear and tear on the components, and enhancing the overall driving experience. The shoulder bolt’s smooth shoulder ensures that the bushings can rotate without any interference, which helps distribute forces evenly across the suspension components, minimizing stress and reducing the likelihood of premature failure.
Shoulder bolts also play a significant role in engine systems. They are used in engine mounts, timing mechanisms, and other critical parts that require precise alignment and secure fastening. In engine mounts, the shoulder bolt ensures proper spacing between the engine and the frame of the vehicle, allowing for slight movement while maintaining structural integrity. This is particularly important in high-performance vehicles, where the engine is subjected to constant vibrations and movements. The shoulder bolt’s ability to absorb and distribute these forces ensures the engine remains secure while reducing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), thereby improving comfort and performance.
The braking system also benefits from the use of shoulder bolts. These bolts are used to fasten brake calipers and other components, ensuring they remain aligned and secure during operation. In particular, shoulder bolts are used in situations where parts need to pivot or slide smoothly, such as in disc brake systems. When braking, the caliper must move smoothly over the brake rotor without any resistance or misalignment. Shoulder bolts ensure that the caliper is securely fastened while still allowing for the necessary movement, resulting in more efficient braking and better overall safety for the vehicle.
Moreover, shoulder bolts are crucial in steering and linkage systems, where they help ensure the proper alignment and smooth operation of components like steering racks, tie rods, and linkages. These systems rely on precise movement and positioning to ensure that the driver has complete control over the vehicle. Shoulder bolts provide a stable connection between parts, allowing them to rotate and move smoothly while maintaining proper alignment. This is essential not only for the functionality of the steering system but also for driver safety, as any misalignment could result in steering failures or unpredictable handling.
The durability and strength of shoulder bolts are particularly valuable in automotive applications, where they are exposed to extreme conditions such as high temperatures, vibration, and heavy loads. Shoulder bolts made from high-strength materials such as stainless steel or alloy steel provide the necessary strength to withstand these harsh environments.
Applications:
Stainless Steel:
1, the basic knowledge of stainless steel
Stainless steel is an alloy material with corrosion resistance, and its main components are an alloy of elements such as iron, chromium and nickel. These elements can effectively resist oxidation and corrosion, so that stainless steel has a high degree of durability and aesthetics.
2, stainless steel maintenance methods
Cleaning
Keeping stainless steel products clean is an important part of their maintenance. You can use mild detergents and soft cloth for cleaning, avoid the use of detergents containing acidic and alkaline components, so as not to damage the surface of stainless steel. When removing dirt, you should try to avoid using irritating cleaning tools to avoid scratching the stainless steel surface. After cleaning, rinse with water and dry with a clean soft cloth.
3, the use of stain remover
For some stubborn dirt, you can use special stainless steel stain remover for cleaning. But before using it, you should carefully read and follow the instructions in the product manual. In addition, stainless steel products on the dirt can be cleaned with alcohol or vinegar, these common cleaners on stainless steel has a certain decontamination effect.

201, 304, 316 are austenitic stainless steel, according to the performance of the non-magnetic, some of the performance of the weak magnetic because of the smelting of the composition of the segregation or improper heat treatment leads to the austenite in a small amount of martensite or ferrite. Austenitic stainless steel corrosion resistance comes from the formation of chromium oxide protective layer on the metal surface. When the material temperature is heated to 450 degrees -900 degrees, the structure changes, will form chromium carbide along the edge of the crystal and can not form a protective layer of chromium oxide, thus reducing the corrosion resistance, this is also known as ‘intergranular corrosion’. As a result, there are 304L and 316L, the two due to the low carbon content also reduces the intergranular corrosion. In particular, the higher susceptibility to intergranular corrosion does not mean that non-low carbon content is more susceptible to corrosion, in a highly chlorinated environment, this susceptibility is also higher.
304 stainless steel
304 is a general-purpose stainless steel that is widely used to make equipment and machine parts that require good all-round performance (corrosion resistance and formability). In order to maintain the corrosion resistance inherent in stainless steel, the steel must contain more than 18% chromium, more than 8% nickel content. 304 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel produced according to the American ASTM standard.
A2 stainless steel and A4 stainless steel, A2 is a class of 304 stainless steel, A4 is a class of 316 stainless steel, the main difference between the two is here, some of the fastener industry will be 302HQ and 304 referred to as: A2, 316 and 316L (C content of carbon C is less than 03% of the stainless steel, you can increase the ‘L’ logo) called A4.
What is the difference between a270 and a470 stainless steel bolts Nuts are usually used in conjunction with bolts. Hexagonal nuts are more widely used.C-grade hexagonal nuts are used in steel structures, machinery and equipment with rough surfaces and low requirements for precision.A-grade and B-grade hexagonal nuts are mainly used in machinery and equipment with smooth surfaces and high requirements for precision.
