FAQs

What does 'A2 304' stainless steel mean?

A2 refers to the grade of stainless steel, which is equivalent to 304 grade. It's a common austenitic stainless steel known for its good corrosion resistance and formability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

What is the standard size for an Allen wrench for M10 bolts?

The standard size for an M10 hex socket is typically 8mm.

Are these bolts suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the A2 304 stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making them highly suitable for most outdoor applications.

Can I use these bolts with wood applications?

Yes, they can be used in wood. It is recommended to pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the bolt's thread diameter to prevent splitting the wood and to ensure a secure fit.

What does ISO 7380 signify?

ISO 7380 is an international standard that specifies the dimensions and properties for button head cap screws with a hex socket drive, ensuring consistency and interchangeability.

Are these bolts magnetic?

A2 304 stainless steel is generally non-magnetic in its annealed state, but it can become slightly magnetic when cold-worked or formed.

How do I clean these bolts if they get dirty?

You can clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly to maintain their appearance and prevent water spots.

Troubleshooting

Bolt head stripping during tightening.

Ensure you are using the correct size Allen wrench. Apply firm, steady pressure and avoid overtightening.

Difficulty threading the bolt.

Check that the bolt is aligned correctly with the threaded hole or nut. Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris. Verify that the bolt is the correct size (M10) for the application.

Corrosion appearing on the bolt surface.

While highly resistant, prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or saltwater can cause minor surface discoloration. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install these bolts, ensure you have the correct size Allen wrench (hex key). Insert the bolt into the pre-drilled hole and tighten securely. The hex socket allows for controlled tightening without stripping the head.

Compatibility: These M10x40mm bolts are designed to fit standard M10 threaded holes or nuts. They are compatible with materials such as metal, wood, and plastic, provided the appropriate pre-drilled hole size is used. They adhere to ISO 7380 standards.

Care: While A2 304 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, it is recommended to clean the bolts periodically, especially in harsh environments, to maintain their appearance and performance. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. For long-term storage, keep them in a dry place.
