    EN 10269 Grade X7CrNiMoBNb16-16 (1.4986) Fasteners

    Boron And Niobium-Strengthened Austenitic Stainless Steel Bolts, Stud Bolts, Screws, Nuts & Washers in EN 10269 Grade X7CrNiMoBNb16-16 (1.4986)

    EN 10269 Grade X7CrNiMoBNb16-16 (1.4986) Fasteners are boron and niobium-strengthened austenitic stainless steel fasteners with outstanding high-temperature creep strength and microstructural stability, used in advanced steam turbine bolting, nuclear reactor internals, and ultra-supercritical power generation plant pressure components.

    • 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.
