High-temperature fasteners for Furnaces & Heat Treatment.
Hot-zone oxidation and loaded-joint creep are different problems. Specify metal temperature, atmosphere and duty cycle before choosing the fastener alloy.
Which fasteners fit your furnace and heat-treatment applications?
BYBOLT supplies Inconel 601 hex bolts for burner and hot-zone attachments, Incoloy 800H stud bolts for loaded hot joints, and 310S long-shank hex bolts for furnace fixtures. Inconel 601 hex flange bolts retain shields and brackets with drawing-defined expansion clearance. We match the grip length, alloy condition and mating parts to the furnace atmosphere and metal temperature.
Fasteners for furnace equipment & fixtures.
Quench racks & baskets
RA330 tie rods and clevis pins combine oxidation resistance with ductility for thermally cycled quench racks. Match their sections and clearances to the basket load and cooling cycle.
RA330 long-shank tie rodsRelated material guides
Connection requirements
- Tie-rod length and thread engagement
- Clevis pin diameter and retaining method
- Basket frame hole clearance
Carburizing & stack fixtures
Fixture bolts secure trays, spacers and stack components through repeated furnace cycles. Inconel 601 is useful where oxidation and carburizing atmospheres attack ordinary fasteners. The hex form suits accessible fixture joints that are dismantled for repair or rearrangement between production runs.
Inconel 601 Hex BoltsRelated material guides
Connection requirements
- Fixture geometry, joint thickness, and required preload
- Bolt diameter, grip length, and nut/washer stack-up at installed position
- Carburizing exposure, temperature range, and heat-number certification
Retort & muffle covers
Regular hex Incoloy 800 nuts fit closely spaced studs on retort accessories and smaller hot covers. They provide heat-resistant internal threads without the footprint of heavy hex hardware. The compact pattern is practical around brackets and connections that are opened during routine furnace maintenance.
Incoloy 800 Hex NutsRelated material guides
Connection requirements
- Mating stud diameter, thread form, and thread class
- Nut height, width across flats, and bearing-face condition required
- Oxidising/carburizing duty, cycling history, and heat-number certification
Radiant tubes & circulation fans
Around radiant-tube flanges and furnace circulation hardware, 601 studs provide fixed fastening points in a hot oxidizing atmosphere. The nuts can be removed for component servicing while the studs remain installed. Material oxidation resistance is particularly relevant where exposed thread ends repeatedly see the furnace atmosphere.
Inconel 601 Stud BoltsRelated material guides
Connection requirements
- Housing joint thickness, and required preload
- Stud diameter, overall length, and nut engagement at each end
- Temperature range, vibration duty, and heat-number certification
Burner mounts & nozzles
Inconel 601 socket screws secure burner mounting plates near hot combustion hardware. Its aluminium-bearing chemistry supports oxidation resistance at these exposed fastening points. The internal drive reaches recessed holes among fuel-air components, allowing the mounting plate to be serviced in a crowded assembly.
Inconel 601 Socket Head Cap ScrewsRelated material guides
Connection requirements
- Tapped-hole size, thread form, and effective engagement depth
- Head diameter, head height, and counterbore clearance required
- Temperature range, vibration duty, and heat-number certification
Heat shields & furnace linings
On heat-shield retainers and lining supports, regular hex 800 nuts give a compact, oxidation-resistant fastening point. They can be reached between closely spaced brackets and stand-offs. The attachment geometry allows shield movement while the nut secures the supporting hardware.

Connection requirements
- Mating bolt diameter, thread form, and thread class

- Oxidising/carburizing duty, cycling history, and heat-number certification
Atmosphere, Creep Load, Thermal Cycling.
310S offers a cost-effective option for lightly loaded fixtures in oxidizing furnaces. RA330 is used for carburizing and nitriding equipment, while 601 emphasizes oxidation and scale resistance. Match the fastener to the actual furnace gas and metal temperature.
What to specify
- Carbon potential
- Atmosphere dew point
- Operating temperature range
800H and 800HT are options for supports and cover studs carrying sustained hot loads. Their creep capability depends on temperature, stress, grain size and heat treatment; use the grade-specific data rather than treating 800HT as an automatic load upgrade.
What to specify
- Sustained load duration
- Creep strain allowance
- Support span length
RA330 offers ductility for thermally cycled racks; 601 resists scale loss during repeated heating, and 310S suits milder cycling. Slots and stand-off sleeves provide movement clearance, while section thickness and cooling rate govern quench stresses.
What to specify
- Thermal cycle frequency
- Quench medium severity
- Expansion sleeve travel allowance

Duty bars are a qualitative BYBOLT selection summary of the producer references: two segments indicate good capability; three highlight a key strength. They are not measured performance ratios. Cyclic oxidation describes oxide-scale resistance during heating and cooling, not thermal-fatigue life; 310S is intended for mildly cyclic exposure. Creep selection depends on temperature, duration and material condition.
Cost bands group overlapping published supplier ranges for initial budgeting; they are not live BYBOLT prices. Specify the exact UNS and final condition on the order.

Before you order furnace fasteners.
Send the drawing and the service details for your connection. We can quote the specified parts, finish and inspection package together.
Get a QuoteWhich temperature should I put on the enquiry?
State the fastener’s design or measured metal temperature, plus the furnace setpoint for context. Add peak excursions, dwell time and the heating and cooling cycle.
