A286 Button Head Cap Screws

2) A-286 Button Head Cap Screws

A286 button head cap screws or alloy 660 stainless steel button head cap screws are known for their high strength, creep resistance and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. This iron-nickel-chromium alloy (once age-hardened) provides A286 screws with high levels of strength from room temperature up to about 1300°F (700°C).

A286 button head cap screws are mildly corrosion resistant. While they should not be used for strong acid environments, they provide excellent oxidation resistance up to 1300°F (700°C) in conditions that would typically be found in high temperature exhaust streams.

Because of these properties, A286 button head cap screws are often found in high temperature engine, manifold, exhaust and turbine applications as well as off-shore oil & gas applications.

ASTM A453 Grade 660

Material specification ASTM A453 Grade 660 applies to bolts, studs, nuts and other fasteners. It ensures fasteners meet strength standards for use in high temperature bolting applications. ASTM A453 Grade 660 is classified into 4 property classes / heat treatments: A, B, C & D, each designated with different tensile and stress rupture properties. The most common of the ASTM 453 classes are class A or D. The grades A, B and C all have the same minimum tensile strength and minimum yield strength of 130ksi and 85ksi respectively. However grade D has a significantly better yield with a min tensile of 130ksi and a min yield of 105ksi.

AMS A286 / Alloy 660 Heat Treatments

By AMS numbers, the most common for A286 / Alloy 660 is AMS 5737 (same as Grade A) and then AMS 5732 (same as Grade B).

A286 / Alloy 660 Cold Worked Fasteners

For additional strength, A286 could be aged and cold worked to achieve a min ultimate tensile strength of 160ksi upon request.
