    EN 10269 Grade 26NiCrMo14-6 (1.6958) Fasteners

    High-Nickel Chromium-Molybdenum Low-Alloy Steel Bolts, Stud Bolts, Screws, Nuts & Washers in EN 10269 Grade 26NiCrMo14-6 (1.6958)

    EN 10269 Grade 26NiCrMo14-6 (1.6958) Fasteners are high-nickel chromium-molybdenum low-alloy steel fasteners providing outstanding toughness, strength, and resistance to temper embrittlement, used in critical bolting for nuclear, power generation, and high-pressure petrochemical equipment.

    • a Elements not listed in this table may not be intentionally added to the steel without the agreement of the purchaser except for finishing the cast. All appropriate precautions are to be taken to avoid the addition of such elements from scrap and other materials used in production which would impair mechanical properties and the usefulness of the steel.
    • b A controlled sulphur content of 0,015 % to 0,030 % improves the machinability and is therefore recommended and may be agreed at time of enquiry and order. For weldability, a controlled sulphur content of 0,008 % to 0,030 % is recommended and may be agreed at time of enquiry and order.
    • c For requirements regarding magnetic properties up to a maximum of 0,28 % C.
