Ultra-strength combined with extreme temperature capabilities

As aerospace engineering advances, so must the materials to meet the technological requirements of this industry. Bolts made from MP159 have been developed to provide a solution to high temperature, high strength components. MP159 shoulder bolts offer strength capabilities similar to other Cobalt Alloys (MP35N) but can be used at much higher temperatures - up to 1100°F, compared to MP35N’s usable limit of 800F. In addition, MP159 bolts can be used beyond 1100°F in short term situations.

Key Benefits

  • High ultimate tensile strength of 275 ksi and yield strength of 265 ksi (Cold Worked and Age Hardened) combined with excellent ductility and toughness
  • Similar corrosion resistance compared to MP35N which is usable in mineral acids, hydrogen sulfide, seawater and salt spray environments.
  • Excellent fatigue resistance and creep strength at elevated temperatures
  • Excellent resistance to crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement

Applications

  • The aerospace industry relies on MP159 shoulder bolts for its most advanced gas turbine and jet engines, rocket boosters and jet propulsion systems.
  • Power generation and chemical processing utilize MP159 bolts for applications that demand high strength at extreme temperatures.

MP159 Shoulder Bolt Features and Benefits

MP159 shoulder bolts, also called stripper bolts are a unique fastener with three main parts: head, shoulder, and thread. The head has the largest diameter and is where the torque is applied, typically with a socket driver. The shoulder is smooth and unthreaded, and has a set diameter and length. The shoulder’s role is to act as a shaft or dowel for rotating parts, axles for rolling parts, guides for sliding elements, and pivot points. The final part of a MP159 shoulder bolt is the threaded shaft. The threaded portion of a shoulder bolt has a major diameter slightly smaller than the shoulder diameter.
