A286 Set Screws

6) A286 Set Screws

A286 screws, also known as Alloy 660 screws are stainless steel alloy which contains iron, nickel and chromium. A286 set screws are known for their high strength, creep resistance and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures once age hardened.  As a result, A286 screws provide high levels of strength from room temperature up to about 1300°F (700°C).

A286 set screws are also mildly corrosion resistant. While they should not be used for strong acid environments, they provide excellent oxidation resistance up to 1500°F (815°C) in conditions that would typically be found in high temperature exhaust streams.

Applications

Because of the properties of Alloy 660 / A286, these set screws are often found in high temperature engine, manifold, exhaust and turbine applications as well as off-shore oil & gas applications. In addition, A286 / Alloy 660 is also non-magnetic and finds a niche in non-magnetic cryogenic equipment. We also offer screws per ASTM A453 Grade 660. This specification ensures tensile strength and rupture properties for the most critical applications.
