The tensile strength and yield strength of 316 stainless steel are higher than those of ordinary steel, which makes it perform well when subjected to external forces and pressures. For stainless steel rivets, high strength means that it can provide stable support and fastening effects between connected parts, and maintain the reliability of the connection even in harsh working environments.
Toughness is the property of a material that can absorb energy and is not easy to break when subjected to external forces. The high toughness of 316 stainless steel means that it can maintain structural integrity and is not prone to brittle fracture when subjected to dynamic loads such as impact or vibration. This is critical for riveting applications that need to withstand complex loads.
316 stainless steel has good ductility and plasticity, which allows it to be processed through various forming processes. Whether it is cold heading, stamping or turning, milling and other processes, 316 stainless steel can easily cope with it, thus producing rivets of various shapes and sizes.
Due to the good machinability of 316 stainless steel, high-precision rivets can be produced. This ensures that the rivet can provide a tight fit and reliable connection effect when connecting parts.
316 stainless steel has a moderate coefficient of thermal expansion, which means it maintains good dimensional stability when the temperature changes. This is especially important for riveting applications that need to withstand temperature changes, because excessive thermal expansion may cause the connection to loosen or fail. The moderate coefficient of thermal expansion of 316 stainless steel allows it to maintain a good connection effect when the temperature changes.
The resistivity of 316 stainless steel is also in the appropriate range, which helps to reduce the heat accumulation caused by the passage of current. This is especially important in riveting applications that need to withstand current or electromagnetic fields. Because too high resistivity may cause heat accumulation, causing overheating or damage to the connected parts. The moderate resistivity of 316 stainless steel allows it to maintain good stability and reliability when subjected to current or electromagnetic fields.
316 stainless steel also has other important physical properties, such as moderate density, high hardness, and good thermal conductivity. These characteristics make 316 stainless steel rivets perform well in a variety of applications, especially in environments that need to withstand high loads, complex shapes and temperature changes.
