The Huck® 316 (A4) Stainless Steel Magna-Lok® A Corrosion-Resistant Fastening for Marine Engineering
For marine engineers the integrity of fastening systems is a cornerstone of safe and durable design; exposure to saltwater, fluctuating temperatures, and vibration makes fastener performance a critical factor, especially in hard-to- access or load-bearing areas. Huck® fasteners, available through Star Fasteners UK Ltd, directly addresses this challenge with an advanced corrosion-resistant solution suited to the harshest marine conditions.
The Huck® 316 (A4) Stainless Steel Magna-Lok® is a premium structural blind fastener engineered for extreme corrosion resistance in harsh environments, particularly marine applications. It features internal 360° locking for superior joint integrity, high tensile and shear strength, and is non-magnetic, ideal for use around sensitive electronics. With its wide grip range, excellent hole-fill capabilities, and ease of one-sided installation, it offers a reliable alternative to welding. Durable, low-maintenance, and visually appealing, this fastener is engineered for long-term performance under vibration and dynamic loads, making it ideal for hull assemblies, superstructures, deck fittings, and even modular marine interior systems.
Huck fasteners are trusted in the toughest applications because of their unmatched strength, and reliability. Unlike traditional threaded fasteners,
Huck’s advanced LockBolt® and structural blind fasteners create a permanent, high-strength connection that won’t loosen over time, even under extreme stress or dynamic loads. Their consistent performance in critical applications makes them ideal for environments where safety, durability, and long-term performance are non-negotiable.
