Unifix A2-304 Stainless Steel Hexagon Bolts M10 x 80 - Silver

A2-304 is a grade of stainless steel commonly known as 18/8 (referring to approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel). It offers good corrosion resistance and is suitable for many general applications, including those exposed to mild atmospheric conditions.

DIN 931 is a German standard specifying the dimensions and technical requirements for hexagon head bolts with a partial thread. Using bolts that meet this standard ensures consistency and reliability.

Yes, the A2-304 stainless steel construction provides good resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for most outdoor applications.

You will need a standard metric wrench or socket set. For an M10 bolt, a 17mm wrench or socket is typically required.

The primary benefit is their enhanced resistance to corrosion and rust compared to standard carbon steel bolts, leading to a longer lifespan and maintained integrity in various environments.

No, according to the DIN 931 standard, these bolts have a partial thread, meaning there is an unthreaded shank section above the threaded portion.

Check if the hole is correctly sized for an M10 thread and free from debris. Ensure you are not cross-threading.

Ensure you are using the correct size wrench (typically 17mm for M10) and that it is fully seated on the hexagon head. Use a 6-point socket for better grip.

Apply appropriate torque. Over-tightening can damage the bolt head or the tool. Consider using a torque wrench if precise tension is required.

While rare for A2-304, heavy exposure to certain chemicals or galvanic corrosion could occur. Clean the surface and inspect the surrounding materials.
