Stainless Steel 316H Fasteners are high-carbon 316 stainless steel fasteners made from UNS S31609 material. They combine the corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel with improved high-temperature creep strength, making them suitable for pressure equipment, heat exchangers, chemical processing, petrochemical and power-generation applications.
Stainless Steel 316H Fasteners | UNS S31609 & WNR 1.4919
Stainless Steel 316H Fasteners are high-carbon austenitic stainless steel fasteners developed for applications that require excellent corrosion resistance along with reliable strength at elevated temperatures. With a controlled carbon content of approximately 0.04–0.10%, 316H offers improved creep resistance compared with conventional 316 stainless steel, making it suitable for demanding high-temperature service.
Also identified as SS 316H Fasteners, UNS S31609 Fasteners, and WNR 1.4919 Fasteners, this grade contains chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. The molybdenum content provides strong resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-containing environments. We supply 316H bolts, nuts, stud bolts, threaded rods, screws and other precision fasteners in different sizes, dimensions, finishes and international standards.
What Are Stainless Steel 316H Fasteners?
Stainless Steel 316H Fasteners are mechanical fastening components manufactured from the high-carbon version of 316 austenitic stainless steel. The "H" designation indicates a higher controlled carbon range than standard 316 and 316L.
The addition of molybdenum improves resistance to localized corrosion, while the higher carbon content helps the material retain strength during elevated-temperature exposure. Because of these characteristics, 316H Stainless Steel Bolts and Nuts are commonly selected for equipment operating under demanding thermal and corrosive conditions.
We can supply fasteners according to the required application, dimensional standard, thread configuration, grade and inspection requirements.

Chemical Composition of SS 316H
The chemical composition of SS 316H Fasteners is an important factor behind their corrosion resistance and elevated-temperature performance.
| Element | Composition (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | 0.04–0.10 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 16.00–18.00 |
| Nickel (Ni) | 10.00–14.00 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 2.00–3.00 |
| Manganese (Mn) | 2.00 max |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.75 max |
| Phosphorus (P) | 0.045 max |
| Sulfur (S) | 0.030 max |
| Nitrogen (N) | 0.10 max |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance |
The defining feature of 316H is its controlled higher carbon content. This differentiates it from 316L, which has a maximum carbon content of 0.030%.
Mechanical Properties of 316H Stainless Steel Fasteners
Typical room-temperature mechanical requirements for 316H-related forged material include the following values, subject to the applicable product standard and fastener specification.
| Mechanical Property | Typical Requirement |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | 515 MPa min. |
| Yield Strength, 0.2% | 205 MPa min. |
| Elongation | 30% min. |
| Hardness | Typically controlled according to applicable specification |
The major advantage of the H grade is not simply higher room-temperature tensile strength. Its principal benefit is improved resistance to creep and strength loss during elevated-temperature service.

316H Fasteners vs 316L Fasteners
The main difference between 316H and 316L is carbon content and the resulting suitability for different service conditions.
| Feature | 316H | 316L |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon | 0.04–0.10% | 0.030% max |
| UNS | S31609 | S31603 |
| High-Temperature Creep Resistance | Better suited | Generally lower |
| Weldability | Less preferred for extensive welding | Excellent |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent | Excellent |
| Typical Selection | Elevated-temperature service | Corrosive and welded applications |
316H should not automatically be considered a replacement for 316L. The correct grade depends on temperature, welding requirements, corrosion conditions and design codes.
