Which fasteners fit your turbine and power-plant applications?

BYBOLT supplies Inconel 718 stud bolts for high-strength turbine-casing joints and A-286 12-point flange bolts where wrench access is tight. Inconel 718 double-end studs secure steam-valve bonnets, while Incoloy 800H stud bolts resist creep in sustained hot service. Order to your equipment drawing, with the required heat treatment and mating nuts.

Gas & steam turbine casing joints

A high-strength turbine casing stud needs a nut whose proof load suits the stud, as well as enough bearing area on the casing. Inconel 718 heavy hex nuts provide a substantial nut pattern in a precipitation-hardened alloy. Their wider flats also support robust socket engagement during controlled assembly.

Inconel 718 Heavy Hex Nuts
Connection requirements
  • Mating stud diameter, thread form, and thread class
  • Nut height, width across flats, and bearing-face condition required
  • Temperature range, cycling duty, and age-hardened condition certification

High-pressure steam valve bonnets

Steam-valve bonnet nuts carry the stud load above the pressure cover. Inconel 718 heavy hex nuts suit assemblies specifying high-strength hot-service bolting, with the nut heat treatment and proof load matched to the stud. The larger pattern is helpful where the bonnet spotface provides adequate bearing space.

  • Temperature range, cycling duty, and age-hardened condition certification

Exhaust manifolds & expansion bellows

At an exhaust flange or bellows support, Inconel 718 hex bolts carry pipework loads through a limited bolt pattern. Precipitation-hardened strength is useful where the fasteners remain hot and there is little room to increase their diameter. Accessible heads allow the complete bolts to be withdrawn when the flange or support is dismantled.

Inconel 718 Hex Bolts
Connection requirements
  • Manifold flange thickness, gasket type, and required preload
  • Bolt diameter, grip length, and nut/washer stack-up at installed position
  • Temperature range, vibration duty, and age-hardened condition certification
Boiler tube banks suspended from overhead supports inside an open maintenance access hatch.

Boiler tube hangers & superheaters

On boiler hanger and superheater support rods, X-750 nuts can form part of a sustained hot-load attachment. The regular hex pattern fits compact brackets and allows position adjustment on threaded ends. The relevant advantage is the alloy's hot mechanical behaviour in the specified treatment condition.

Connection requirements
  • Mating bolt diameter, thread form, and thread class
  • Nut height, width across flats, and bearing-face condition required
  • Temperature range, cycling duty, and heat-number certification
Large flue duct with a bolted expansion joint entering a power-plant tower within a steel support structure.

Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) ducts

At FGD duct covers and inspection doors, fasteners may see acidic condensate concentrated beneath deposits. Inconel 625 hex bolts provide chloride-corrosion resistance at the head, shank and thread. The removable bolt form suits panels opened for cleaning, where corrosion of the fastening points would complicate maintenance.

  • Chloride and acid exposure, and heat-number certification

Generator & rotor tie-bolt assemblies

Rotor tie-bolt nuts transfer a large axial load into the end of the assembly. A heavy hex 718 nut offers a strong threaded section and a generous bearing footprint where the rotor design allows it. The drawing's balance, seating and locking details remain essential parts of this particular component.

Temperature, expansion, and condensate corrosion.

B16, A-286, 718 and Waspaloy serve different hot-bolting duties. For a casing joint, compare temperature-specific relaxation and creep data in the final heat-treated condition; room-temperature strength does not establish retained clamp load.

What to specify
  • Design service temperature band
  • Required clamp-load retention criterion
  • Creep strength grade designation

Before you order power-plant fasteners.

Send the drawing and the service details for your connection. We can quote the specified parts, finish and inspection package together.

Get a Quote
Can you quote an OEM replacement from a part number?

Send the part number with the controlled drawing or dimensional specification, alloy condition and quantity. Include any inspection requirements attached to the OEM purchase specification.

Can room-temperature test results cover a hot joint?

Room-temperature tests document those measured properties. If the design requires hot tensile, creep or relaxation evidence, include the test temperature, duration and acceptance criteria in the enquiry.

Can nuts and studs be supplied as matched sets?

Yes. Specify both components, including their material conditions and nut pattern. Sets can be identified by casing or valve tag and linked to their material and finished-batch records.
