For regular-use Reliable Split Pins, the most common material is carbon steel—usually AISI 1010, 1020, or 1022. It’s a good mix: strong enough, easy to bend the legs without breaking, and doesn’t cost much. These carbon steel Reliable Split pins work fine for general industrial jobs, car parts, and machinery where not getting rusty isn’t the main thing to worry about. They handle the usual shear and holding forces well when securing castle nuts, clevis pins, and shaft retainers in all sorts of places.

If you need Reliable Split Pins that hold up better against rust, stainless steel ones—usually AISI 304 or 316—are a must. Type 304 works pretty well against moisture and lots of chemicals. 304 stainless steel is okay. It is not easily affected by moisture and can withstand corrosion from many chemicals. It is sufficient for general use in daily scenarios. 316 stainless steel is more resistant to environments such as "salt" and "chlorine". It is more suitable for equipment on ships, food processing machines, objects in chemical plants, and buildings exposed to wind and rain. In tough conditions where carbon steel would rust, stainless steel Reliable Split pins stay strong and keep locking things in place. That means they’re reliable and safe for a long time.
Q: Do your Reliable Split Pins comply with international standards like ISO or DIN?
A:Yep, definitely. Our regular Reliable Split Pins are made to meet big international specs like ISO 8752 and DIN 94. If you ask, we can give you all the certifications—like Material Test Certificates. These prove the Reliable Split pins check out on size, strength, and material, meeting those worldwide standards to make sure they’re reliable and can be swapped out with others.
