Incoloy Hex Cap Screws

Incoloy Hex Head Cap Screws

Not to be confused with Inconel, Incoloy hex head cap screws are made of a nickel alloy which contains iron and a lower content of nickel. Incoloy is essentially a more economical option to Inconel, yet with more restricted corrosion resistance and temperature limits. Typically, Incoloy is an ideal material for long-term exposure in high temperature environments due to its oxidation, carburization and creep resistance. Incoloy is widely used for its resistance to seawater, brine, sour gas and high chloride environments at elevated temperatures, which make it a popular choice in the oil and gas and power industries. 

The most commonly used grades of Incoloy screws are Incoloy 800, 800H, 800HT; Incoloy 825; and Incoloy 925.

Incoloy Hex Head Cap Screw Features and Benefits

It is important to differentiate between a Incoloy hex head cap screw and hex head bolt. Often people assume they are the same, but they are actually very different fasteners in terms of how they are manufactured, as well as from an application perspective. Regardless of your choice, Incoloy hex heads offer strong, stable joints because of their large head service.

The Hex Comparison

Incoloy Hex Head Cap Screw Advantages  

The most important feature of a Incoloy hex head cap screws is that it has a larger bearing surface area which provide better clamping pressure than other type of fastener such as a socket head cap screw. Additionally, since debris build up is less of an issue with this style of fastener verses a socket head cap screw, they are ideal of dirty applications where particles could clog up a socket. Though Incoloy socket heads are typically used for tight access applications, hex heads can be a better choice when there is only side clearance available for tightening.
