A4 (316) Stainless Steel Hilti HUS4 Concrete Screw Anchors

Mechanical properties, corrosion behaviour and the full dimensional range for this grade.

A4 Stainless Steel Hilti HUS4 Concrete Screw Anchors are supplied to ISO 3506 group A4 (316 / 1.4401), commonly supplied A4-80. Corrosion behaviour is superior, including marine and chloride environments, the material is largely non-magnetic, and the usable service range is approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint. In practice this grade is specified for marine, coastal and chemical applications.

For hilti hus4 concrete screw anchors in A4 Stainless Steel, the controlling selection factors are corrosion exposure, strength requirement and service temperature. The grade data for A4 Stainless Steel (ISO 3506 group A4 (316 / 1.4401), commonly supplied A4-80) is summarized below together with every size supplied.

Why Choose A4 Stainless Steel for Hilti HUS4 Concrete Screw Anchors

Specified for marine, coastal and chemical applications. For hilti hus4 concrete screw anchors, this matters when superior, including marine and chloride environments is the primary requirement.

Corrosion characteristicSuperior, including marine and chloride environments

Corrosion Behavior in Service

A4 (316) adds 2–3% molybdenum to the A2 (304) composition, which dramatically improves resistance to chloride-pitting corrosion. For Hilti HUS4 Concrete Screw Anchors in marine, coastal, swimming-pool or food-processing environments, A4 is the default selection.

Galvanic & Galling Considerations

Two important notes for stainless hilti hus4 concrete screw anchors: (1) stainless can gall on stainless threads under load — use a thread lubricant or anti-galling compound, especially for M6 and below; (2) when joined to aluminum or galvanized steel, stainless can drive galvanic corrosion of the less-noble metal in wet service — isolate with a coating or sleeve where appropriate.

Using Stainless Fasteners in Aluminum

Stainless steel is more noble than aluminum, so in the presence of an electrolyte — rain, condensation, salt spray — the aluminum becomes the anode and corrodes at the joint. The effect is driven by the area ratio: a small stainless fastener in a large aluminum section is normally acceptable, while a large stainless fastener in thin aluminum is not. Where the joint is wet, isolate the two metals with a coated or nylon washer and a sealant, or specify an aluminum or coated fastener instead.

Applications & Industries

Where Hilti HUS4 Concrete Screw Anchors are used, and what decides the specification in each case. Stocked from 8 to 16 (nominal diameter).

Industries that specify Hilti HUS4 Concrete Screw Anchors

  • Electrical services Conduit, tray and support brackets fixed directly to concrete.
  • Window and door installation Frames attached to concrete or masonry reveals with a removable screw anchor.
  • Temporary works Formwork rails, guards and fixtures installed and removed without an expansion sleeve.
  • Equipment support Light and medium brackets anchored to a concrete slab.
  • Construction & structural Base plates, brackets and steelwork fixed to concrete.
  • Building services Suspending tray, duct, pipe and sprinkler runs from a soffit.

Typical applications

  • cutting a mating thread directly into a prepared concrete hole
  • installing a removable fixing without a separate expansion plug
  • matching drill diameter and embedment to the selected HUS4 configuration
  • checking edge distance, spacing and concrete condition against the approval
  • fixing a steel fixture through to a solid substrate
  • suspended services on threaded rod

Service conditions to specify against

Marine and coastal
Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
The concrete governs
Capacity is a property of the base material and the geometry — grade, edge distance, spacing and cracked or uncracked — not of the anchor alone. Work to the anchor manufacturer's ETA or ICC-ES report.
Hole preparation
Drilled diameter, depth and cleanliness are part of the specification; an uncleaned hole is the single most common cause of a failed anchor.

Where to use something else

  • Do not replace the approved drill and embedment values with a generic masonry-screw rule.
  • Not for a substrate the type is not qualified in — an expansion anchor near an edge or in hollow block will split it.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

  1. Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine
    01

    Cold heading

    Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

    Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.

  2. Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads
    02

    Thread rolling

    Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

    Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.

  3. Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment
    03

    Heat treatment

    Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

    Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.

  4. Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket
    04

    Surface treatment

    Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

    Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.
