A286 Torx Screws
A286 (1.4980) Torx Screws, also known as Alloy 660 Torx Screws are stainless steel alloy which contains iron, nickel and chromium. A286 Torx Screws are known for their high strength, creep resistance and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures once age hardened. As a result, A286 Torx Screws provide high levels of strength from room temperature up to about 1300°F (700°C).
A286 Torx Screws are also mildly corrosion resistant. While they should not be used for strong acid environments, they provide excellent oxidation resistance up to 1500°F (815°C) in conditions that would typically be found in high temperature exhaust streams. Because A286 Torx Screws are used in high temperature applications where performance is critical, we can provide fasteners to ASTM A453 Grade 660 in order to ensure accurate standards for tensile and stress rupture properties.

Applications
Because of the properties of Alloy 660 / A286, these fasteners are often found in high temperature engine, manifold, exhaust and turbine applications as well as off-shore oil & gas applications. In addition, A286 / Alloy 660 is also non-magnetic and finds a niche in non-magnetic cryogenic equipment.

Flat Head Screws | A286 flat head screws are most commonly offered in an 82° countersink angle, but can be customized to other angles from 60° -120° and are designed to be flush with the surface. Available in slotted and socket drivers. Phillips, 6-lobe, torx and tamperproof drivers in A286 flat head screws can be made require special manufacturing. | • ASME B18.3 • ASME B18.3.6 • DIN 963 / ISO 2009 • DIN 965 / ISO 7046 • DIN 7991 / ISO 10642 |

Hex Head Cap Screws | A286 hex head cap screws offer the added washer face to the bolt head which is lacking on a hex bolt and tighter dimensional tolerances.

ASTM A453 Grade 660
Material specification ASTM A453 Grade 660 applies to bolts, studs, nuts and other fasteners. It ensures fasteners meet strength standards for use in high temperature bolting applications. ASTM A453 Grade 660 is classified into 4 property classes / heat treatments: A, B, C & D, each designated with different tensile and stress rupture properties. The most common of the ASTM 453 classes are class A or D. The grades A, B and C all have the same minimum tensile strength and minimum yield strength of 130ksi and 85ksi respectively. However grade D has a significantly better yield with a min tensile of 130ksi and a min yield of 105ksi.
