SHOP ONLINEDo you need 316 stainless steel carriage bolts? Marsh Fasteners has been a supplier of quality stainless steel fasteners and hardware in Jupiter, FL, for more than thirty years. 316 Stainless steel carriage bolts are often applied at critical structural joints and are commonly used with materials such as wood and metal.
The bolts are manufactured from 316 stainless steel, making them highly corrosion-resistant, with low yield stress and high tensile strength. It is the ideal bolt for wooden decks or marine structures like piers, where wood and steel are connected. 316 Stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel, to which 2 to 3 percent Molybdenum is added, increasing its resistance to corrosive agents, including acids and salt water.

We are a stocking distributor for leading manufacturers and serve a range of industries, including solar, water & utilities, and coastal construction.

316 Stainless Steel Carriage Bolt Uses
The 316 stainless steel carriage bolts sold by Marsh Fasteners are also known as coach bolts or round-head square neck bolts. They have a domed head, with a square section under the head designed to lock the bolt into position when used in soft materials like wood. It stops the bolt from spinning when it is tightened or loosened. Carriage bolts are a heavy-duty fastening solution primarily used to join different types of timber or fasten metal to wood.
The corrosion-resistant nature of the 316 stainless steel, combined with the carriage bolt’s design, makes them the ideal fastener for docks, jetties, and bridges at ports and harbors. Manufacturing, rail, and automotive industries utilize carriage bolts, as does the racing car industry. Due to their high tensile strength, the bolts secure suspension components such as roll cages and other safety equipment in racing cars.
