Engineers and purchasing department staff frequently seek assistance from Jade Alloys when it comes to explaining the similarities and differences between the two most popular superalloys, Inconel and Hastelloy. Although both families comprise nickel-based alloys, their actual behavior in real-world conditions may differ. The most important aspect is the differences in the composition. Inconel, which...

The procurement manager, structural estimator, freight coordinator, or anyone who must prepare bill of quantities and calculate shipping needs using accurate figures should have a satisfying and accurate hex bolt weight chart. Most of the reference charts published, however, combine partial-thread hex bolts and fully threaded hex screws into a single unlabeled reference chart without...

Choosing between A2-70 stainless steel bolts and Grade 8.8 carbon steel bolts is one of the most common fastener specification questions we field. Both are workhorse grades, but they solve different problems. At Jade Alloys, we manufacture and stock both, so this comparison is written from the position of someone who has to get the...

Jade Alloys is a leading manufacturer and exporter of industrial fasteners, serving piping engineers and procurement teams sourcing flange bolting for refineries, offshore platforms and process plant worldwide. Most flange stud bolt questions come down to the same three things. How many studs, what diameter, and how long. Get any of them wrong and you...

Jade Alloys is a leading manufacturer and exporter of industrial fasteners, serving piping designers, procurement teams and field inspectors across refineries, offshore platforms and process plants worldwide. Getting stud bolt sizing right on flanged joints, valves and pressure piping comes down to two things. Keeping the plant safe and not paying for a leak later....

Jade Alloys is a leading manufacturer and exporter of industrial fasteners, serving engineers, procurement teams, and fabricators across construction, piping, and process industries worldwide. Getting the thread callout right before you order is critical, and this guide brings together a complete thread pitch chart covering UNC, UNF, 8UN, ISO metric coarse and metric fine threads,...

Every bolt begins as a coil of steel wire rod and passes through six carefully controlled manufacturing stages before it is ready to bear load in a critical application. The fastener manufacturing process covers raw material selection, wire drawing and annealing, cold forging (heading), thread rolling, heat treatment, and surface finishing. Each step is engineered...

A Bolt Tensile Strength Chart is very important for engineers and purchasers to determine the tensile strength of each bolt grade available from Grade 4.8 to Grade 12.9, including various grades of Stainless Steel. This will assist you in picking the correct type of bolt for specific application requirements based on load, safety factor, and...

Hastelloy fasteners are a class of high-performance alloy fasteners which find their application in very tough conditions requiring high corrosion resistance, high temperature strength, and high chemical stability. Different grades of hastelloy fasteners include Hastelloy C276 fasteners and Hastelloy C22 fasteners, and find wide application in industries like chemical processing industries, marine, and offshore industries....

Jade Alloys is a leading Grade 12.9 Bolts supplier and exporter, delivering precision-grade fasteners that meet the most demanding industrial and engineering standards. When it comes to precision critical engineering, it’s not a detail that’s taken lightly. It is a choice that comes on the structure. The grade 12.9 bolts are the highest grade of...
