A4-50L Stainless Steel Fastener is recognized by 2 ways, A2 which describe it as being from SS 316L family and 50L which classifies its strength. When we say A4-50L it generally means that the bolt / screw is from SS 316L grade and has an ultimate tensile strength as 50 kg or 500 n/mm2. When we notice the symbol “L” it means that it is made from low carbon stainless steel with C% of maximum 0.03%.
