As I live close to the sea I've been looking for suitable M10 stainless anchors in 316 but can't find any.

Can I use standard 316 studding instead?

have you tried somewhere like a chandliers - i use force 4 - I have purchased a few things , as i too live near the sea

I used normal screwfix Studs chemical fixed and holding up a 4x4 POST on a wall , for a gate , been there since 2016 and works fine

Don't think they will have the chemi anchors but yes, studding they should have. But 316 studding is readily available, my question is can studding be used instead of the recognise chemi anchors?

I did not get stainless steel - i used these

i have a few these on the side of a garage - facing the sea wind - and been up since around 2018

I live near the sea and use A2 (18/8) stainless in the garden. It can tarnish, but I do not get troublesome corrosion. I sometimes paint it to blend in with wooden structures. You need to use a stainless anti-seize or grease on the threads, even indoors, I use aero-engine nickel grease, but aluminium grease is cheaper. I use stainless studding a lot because it is much cheaper than large screws or bolts.

Beware Chinese stainless, which often contains zero nickel and is unsuitable for outdoor work.

In the past I used BZP M8 steel studding for the fence, and it actually rusted right through and snapped, jamming irremovably in concrete posts, presumably due to the salt spray.

I always use the magnet test - if sticks even slightly then its not fully stainless steel. No stick at all then it is a least pretty good. So the less it sticks the better it is.
I was told some cheap end sinks are made out of two types of stainless steel a good non magnetic one for the bowl and a cheaper magnetic one for the drainer, dont know if there is any truth in that though.

It varies with the formula and heat treatment, and even work hardening. ...

Some expensive kitchen knives are non-magnetic and hold a very good edge, but have poor corrosion resistance.

type 304, is very popular, commonly used for saucepans and table cutlery, and fine for that.

316 "marine" stainless has better corrosion resistance.

There are lots of other grades, not used so widely.

You will often find cheap Chinese metal is 18/0 (zero nickel) which is cheaper to make, but less strong and tarnishes or corrodes easily. It is deliberately made poor quality for buyers who insist on cheapness.
 



 
Hi Guys,

I'm not concerned about material specs as I know from my work experience that we used 316 for marine applications.

My question is; can I use ordinary studding instead of the usual anchor bolts from Fischer and the like. Is there anything with the resin anchor bolts which make them a 'must use'.

Also the anchor studs are not long enough for my application.

how long do you need the stud to be = toolstation do 1metre
 
Toolstation don't do it in 316 but there are several online traders who can supply.
 
Ok, i must be misunderstanding
My question is; can I use ordinary studding instead

BUT if you want 316 - then have a look here - 1meter but as i asked
how long do you need the stud to be
how long do you need the stud to be
 
My question still remains unanswered. Is ordinary studding ok to use in place the resin anchors bolts?
 
Ahh, OK. The link didn't work on your original response and the next thing was a resin link.

Great, so I should be ok. My job is to fix a face mounted balustrade to a brick fronted high level patio.

The nozzles which go on the resin dispenser how long are they? In a couple of locations the studding will need to be about 250mm deep.
