Product Summary

Longze High-Strength Stud Bolts (DIN 976-1 / ASME B18.31.2) are premium fully-threaded or double-ended fasteners designed for high-pressure piping, structural steel

connections, and heavy-duty machinery anchoring. Manufactured in Yongnian, China, our stud bolts are cold-rolled to ensure grain flow continuity and superior thread fatigue life.

Whether for a subsea oil manifold requiring SS316 (A4-80) or a wind turbine foundation demanding Class 12.9 alloy steel, Longze delivers the precise mechanical performance and dimensional accuracy required for critical engineering specifications.

• ✔ Cold-Rolled Thread Integrity: Every stud is produced via cold-rolling, which work-hardens the threads, making them 20% stronger and significantly smoother than cut threads, reducing the risk of galling.

•  

• ✔ Exceptional Straightness: We implement a dedicated straightening stage for all rods, ensuring a straightness tolerance of ±0.2mm/m—critical for seamless installation in long-distance pipe flanges.

•  

• ✔ Precise Form A Chamfering: Our studs feature a standard 45° end chamfer (DIN 976 Form A) that removes sharp burrs, ensuring jam-free nut engagement even in high-speed automated assembly.

• Standards: DIN 976-1 (Metric), ASME B18.31.2 (Continuous Thread), ISO 898-1.

•  

• Diameter Range: M6 to M100 | 1/4" to 4".

•  

• Length Range: 20 mm to 6000 mm (Custom cut-to-length available).

•  

• Property Class: Class 8.8, 10.9, 12.9 | B7, B7M, L7 | Stainless Steel 304 (A2) & 316 (A4).

•  

• Surface Finish: Hot Dip Galvanized (HDG), Zinc Plated, PTFE (Teflon), Black Oxide, Plain.

Avoid Pitfalls:

• Hydrogen Embrittlement (12.9 Grade): For high-tensile 12.9 studs that are electro-galvanized, we implement a strict 8-hour de-embrittlement bake to prevent sudden brittle fracture under high clamping loads.

•  

• Nut Seizing on HDG: For hot-dip galvanized studs, we ensure the threads are rolled to 6g/6h tolerances and recommend using Longze 6AZ (Oversized) Nuts to ensure smooth assembly over the thick zinc coating.

•  

• Inconsistent Thread Length: For double-ended studs (DIN 938/939), the "metal-end" length is critical. Longze utilizes digital calipers to ensure every batch meets the exact $1d$ atau $1.25d$ engagement depth required.

•  

Perfect Fit Assembly:

• Heavy Hex Nut Pairing: For ASME B18.31.2 (B7/B8) studs, we recommend pairing with Longze ASTM A194 2H or Grade 8 Heavy Hex Nuts for a certified pressure-vessel connection.

•  

• Lubrication Consistency: To achieve accurate pre-load, we suggest using Moly-based lubricants. Longze provides friction coefficient data for all our PTFE-coated Dan Polos stud bolts.

•  

Quality Control & Logistics:

• ISO 9001 Certified: 5-step QC including Ultrasonic flaw detection (for M36+), thread pitch gauge verification, and full material spectrometer analysis.

•  

• Sea-Worthy Packaging: Studs are bundled with steel strapping, wrapped in moisture-proof plastic, and secured in reinforced wooden crates to prevent bending or thread damage during export from our Yongnian hub.

• Q: Can you provide PTFE-coated stud bolts in specific colors? A: Yes, we offer Blue, Green, and Red Teflon coatings which provide low friction and extreme chemical resistance for subsea and oilfield applications.

• Q: What is the difference between DIN 975 and DIN 976-1? A: DIN 975 refers to 1-meter, 2-meter, or 3-meter threaded rods. DIN 976-1 refers to shorter, cut-to-length stud bolts with specific end chamfers. We supply both.
