Alloy 330 Fasteners

Alloy 330 Shoulder Bolts

Alloy 330 Shoulder Bolts are specifically designed for high temperature furnace applications such as vacuum furnaces, heat treating and brazing applications. The most prized trait of alloy 330 is its ability perform under cyclic conditions of temperature extremes from heating and cooling; as well as in alternate carburizing and oxidizing atmospheres. An austenitic, nickel-chromium-iron-silicon alloy, 330 fasteners also offer industry a low coefficient of expansion, excellent ductility, and high strength.

Alloy 330 Shoulder Bolts: High-Temperature Stripper Bolts for Precision Motion Applications

UNS N08330 / W. Nr. 1.4886 / RA330 / Incoloy 330

RAYCHIN LIMITED is a recognized expert in Alloy 330 shoulder bolts — from Alloy 330 precision shoulder bolts, Alloy 330 stripper bolts, Alloy 330 socket shoulder bolts to custom non-standard configurations. Alloy 330 (UNS N08330) is an austenitic nickel-iron-chromium superalloy with silicon addition, specifically designed for high-temperature service up to 1150°C (2100°F). Shoulder bolts, also known as stripper bolts, are unique fasteners with three distinct parts: head, shoulder, and thread. The shoulder is a precision-ground, unthreaded cylindrical surface that acts as a shaft, dowel, or pivot point for rotating parts, axles for rolling elements, and guides for sliding components. The alloy's high nickel content (34-37%) provides excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking and maintains a stable austenitic structure at all temperatures. Silicon addition (0.75-1.5%) enhances oxidation and carburization resistance at elevated temperatures. Our portfolio includes shoulder bolts manufactured to NAS, AN, MS, ANSI, ASTM, ASME, SAE, API, NACE, ISO, DIN and KS standards. Engineered for extreme environments where precision motion and high-temperature strength are critical. Alloy 330 shoulder bolts are supplied in solution annealed condition with full traceability and third-party certifications.

Alloy 330 Shoulder Bolt Design & Function

Three-Part Construction

Alloy 330 shoulder bolts are precision fasteners with three distinct sections:

  • Head: The largest diameter, where torque is applied. Typically features a hex socket drive for positive engagement and high torque capability.
  • Shoulder: A precision-ground, smooth, unthreaded cylindrical surface. The shoulder acts as a shaft, axle, or dowel for rotating parts, rolling elements, and sliding components. It has a set diameter and length with tight tolerances.
  • Thread: The threaded portion has a major diameter slightly smaller than the shoulder diameter, allowing components to slide freely over the shoulder without interference from threads.

Functional Advantages

  • Precision Alignment: The ground shoulder provides accurate positioning and alignment of mating components.
  • Wear Resistance: The smooth shoulder surface minimizes wear on rotating or sliding parts.
  • Axle Function: Ideal for applications where parts must rotate around the bolt.
  • Guide Pins: Serve as guides for sliding elements in fixtures and tooling.
  • Pivot Points: Act as pivot points for linkages and mechanisms in high-temperature environments.

Applications

  • Furnace rollers and conveyor systems
  • Heat treating fixtures with moving parts
  • Gas turbine linkages and mechanisms
  • Stripper plates in stamping and forming dies
  • Pivot points in high-temperature equipment
  • Guide pins for sliding furnace components

Key Benefits of Alloy 330 Shoulder Bolts

Exceptional High-Temperature Strength

Alloy 330 maintains useful mechanical properties up to 1150°C (2100°F). At 800°C, tensile strength remains at 150-200 MPa, significantly higher than standard stainless steels. Excellent creep strength at 980°C with 15-20 MPa for 1000 hours.

Precision-Ground Shoulder

Shoulder surfaces are precision-ground to tight tolerances (±0.025mm) for accurate fit and smooth operation. The shoulder acts as a shaft or axle for rotating parts, ensuring reliable performance in high-temperature mechanisms.

Superior Carburization & Oxidation Resistance

Silicon addition (0.75-1.5%) enhances resistance to carburizing and oxidizing atmospheres up to 1150°C. Chromium forms a protective Cr₂O₃ scale, while silicon contributes to a complex silicate layer that provides exceptional protection in aggressive furnace environments.

Thermal Cycling Resistance

Stable austenitic structure at all temperatures provides excellent resistance to thermal shock and thermal fatigue. Low thermal expansion coefficient (14.4-18.0 x 10⁻⁶/°C) matches many ceramics and reduces stress during thermal cycling.

Chloride SCC Immunity

With 34-37% nickel content, Alloy 330 offers practical immunity to chloride stress corrosion cracking, making it suitable for applications where both high temperature and chlorides are present.

Stable Austenitic Structure

Remains fully austenitic at all temperatures without sigma phase embrittlement. Magnetic permeability ≤ 1.02, suitable for non-magnetic applications.

Corrosion Resistance of Alloy 330 Shoulder Bolts

While Alloy 330 is primarily selected for high-temperature strength, it also offers good corrosion resistance in many environments due to its high nickel and chromium content.

High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance

Alloy 330 shoulder bolts offer excellent resistance to oxidation up to 1150°C (2100°F) in air and combustion atmospheres. The chromium forms a protective Cr₂O₃ scale, while silicon contributes to a complex silicate layer that provides exceptional protection in aggressive environments.

Carburization Resistance

The silicon addition (0.75-1.5%) provides outstanding resistance to carburization and nitriding at elevated temperatures. Alloy 330 shoulder bolts are widely used in furnace components and heat treating fixtures where carbonaceous atmospheres are present.
