climbing anchor Stainless steel with 2 rings AISI 304L

Our climbing anchor Inox with 2 rings is intended as an inexpensive alternative for alpine applications. Because here it doesn’t always have to be the expensive AISi 316L / A4 steel option. In low-corrosion environments, A2 stainless steel is a legitimate option. Especially if you take the sometimes low climbing frequency into consideration.

Furthermore, as a bolting professional, we offer a coherent product for other A2 steel items such as our glue in bolt Inox. And, of course, we also offer the matching 10mm A2 steel expansion bolt.

You see. No matter what your material problem looks like out on the market. We offer the right bolting hardware for every target group!

Why A2 / AISI 304L steel?

This steel quality is already “stainless steel”. That is why this climbing anchor Inox also has this name, because that is the colloquial name for this steel.

This steel alloy contains slightly less chromium than A4 steel. The protective chromium oxide layer is therefore somewhat thinner, but still sufficient for our latitudes. This material is a good choice for those who are developing alpine terrain, for example, where the climbing frequency can be low. It offers a reasonable price-life ratio.

As a result, developers do not have to dig quite as deep into their pockets as with high-quality A4 steel.

Watch out for galvanic corrosion!

Our climbing anchor Inox may only be installed with suitable expansion bolt. This means that these should also be A2 steel.

Anyone who ignores this creates galvanic corrosion. All it takes is one wrong washer or nut to set this electrochemical principle in motion. Find out more in our article“Galvanic corrosion at expansion bolt“!
