MS14181
When it comes to aerospace manufacturing, bolts play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and reliability of aircraft. MS14181 is one of the most advanced aerospace bolts available, specifically engineered for high-performance applications in aviation. Let’s have a look at MS14181’s properties, and its significance in aircraft manufacturing.
What is MS14181?
MS14181 is a type of aerospace bolt made from Inconel 718, a nickel-based alloy known for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to perform under extreme temperatures. The MS14181 bolts are essential for their ability to withstand high stress and environmental conditions that many other fasteners simply cannot handle.
Aircraft Bolts: A Critical Component in Aerospace
Aircraft bolts are not just ordinary fasteners. They must meet strict safety standards and perform reliably under extreme pressure and heat. These aircraft bolts are specifically manufactured to provide superior strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, which are crucial in the aerospace industry. Materials like nickel alloys, titanium, and high-grade stainless steel are often used to craft aircraft bolts, each designed to meet specific requirements depending on the application.
MS14181 is one such aircraft bolt designed for the most demanding applications. Its advanced composition allows it to perform effectively in aircraft systems exposed to high temperatures, like turbine engines and exhaust components.
What Makes MS14181 Stand Out?
MS14181 bolts offer exceptional corrosion resistance, making them highly reliable for use in harsh environments such as saltwater or high-temperature zones. These bolts can withstand temperatures up to 1,600°F and offer tensile strength of 100,000 psi, with even higher strength when hard rolled. This makes them a prime choice for parts that endure stress and thermal cycling.
In addition, MS14181 bolts are designed for excellent fatigue resistance, meaning they can handle repetitive loading without losing their structural integrity. The material’s composition also makes it highly resistant to oxidation and wear, having a long service life even in challenging conditions.
Applications of MS14181 Bolts in Aerospace
MS14181 bolts are used in various high-performance aerospace applications, particularly in areas where strength, temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance are crucial. Some of the most common uses include:
- Aircraft Exhaust Systems: MS14181 bolts hold exhaust system components securely, withstanding high heat and constant vibration.
- Gas Turbine Engines: These bolts help secure critical parts in jet engines, where temperature fluctuations and stress are part of daily operation.
- Airframe Parts: MS14181 bolts are used in aircraft frames to ensure they remain structurally sound during flight.
- Spacecraft and Rocket Motors: MS14181’s ability to perform in extreme environments makes it suitable for use in space applications.

Basics, Benefits and Frequent Uses of NAS9603-NAS9624 Bolt Family
When it comes to fields like aerospace and similar forms of manufacturing, standards are high for the various bolts and fasteners used. A great example is the NAS9603-NAS9624 bolt family, a series of bolts made for leading aerospace OEM companies around the globe.
At Aerospace Manufacturing Inc., we’re proud to serve as a top aerospace bolt manufacturer, providing a huge range of bolts used in aircraft, aerospace and similar applications. Here are some basics on NAS bolts in particular and how they fit within the broad realm of specifications for military and aerospace bolts, plus some of the qualities of the NAS9603-NAS9624 product family, why these bolts are ideal for several major applications, and the value of working with top aerospace bolt manufacturers like us.
NAS And Other Aerospace or Military Specifications
There are a few different sets of bolts used in aircraft, aerospace, military and similar settings, and NAS is one of these. Here’s a basic rundown of these categories:
- AN bolts: These refer to industrial aircraft bolts manufactured according to the specifications of the Air Force or Navy. They include either cadmium or zinc-plated corrosion-resistant steel, plus unplated steel and anodized aluminum alloys. They can differ in terms of factors like length, drip, drilled head, shank and diameter. They’re often used in both ductile and shear applications.
- NAS bolts: These bolts, on the other hand, comply with National Aerospace Standards for high technology systems (AMI is proud to be among the groups certified by NAS). They contain a fine-threaded, dimple headed hex bolt.
- NASM bolts: This category refers to precision fasteners that previously were part of MIL-specific requirements, but were converted.
- MS bolts: Bolts that have been tested and certified to Military Standard, available in both coarse and fine threads.
- NA bolts: The most recent standards for metric aerospace fasteners.
NAS9603-NAS9624 Bolt Family Qualities
Bolts from the NAS9603-NAS9624 family have a few key qualities:
- Close tolerance: A close tolerance bolt refers to a threaded bolt that has specific fit and/or geometry tolerances, as well as thread class limits. These bolts have a higher precision level than standard fasteners, making them ideal for applications where tight tolerances are necessary.
- Hex head: These bolts have a hexagonal head, making them easy to tighten with a wrench. This design allows for greater torque and strength, making them suitable for high-stress applications.
- Corrosion resistance: NAS9603-NAS9624 bolts are made from materials that provide excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring their durability in harsh environments.
- Continuous production: The NAS9603-NAS9624 family is continuously produced, meaning that the same high-quality standards are maintained with each batch of bolts – and also meaning that turnaround times are shorter, which is vital for many industries.
- Testing applications: This series is often used for test bolt applications for nut testing and qualifications.
For these reasons, the NAS9603-NAS9624 family is often used for aircraft production and similar needs.
Produced in Nickel-Based Alloy
The NAS9603-NAS9624 bolt family is produced in A286, a nickel-based alloy that comes with several major benefits:
- Lifespan: Nickel-based alloys have excellent heat and corrosion resistance properties, meaning they can withstand harsh conditions and have a long lifespan.
- Weight: A286 is a lightweight alloy, making it ideal for use in aircraft and other weight-sensitive applications.
- Outdoor use: Because of its corrosion resistance properties, A286 is often used in outdoor applications where exposure to harsh elements is likely.
- Sustainability: A286 is a sustainable material, meaning it can be recycled and reused multiple times without losing its properties.
- Conformable: A286 conforms to the chemistry of AMS5731, AMS5732, AMS 5737 or AMS 5853.
Why Professional Quality Products Are Vital
When considering any NAS9603-NAS9624 bolt family products, it’s vital to only purchase from professional and reputable aerospace bolt manufacturers like Aerospace Manufacturing Inc. Low-quality bolts or fasteners can have a significant impact on the overall performance and safety of an aircraft, making it crucial to invest in high-quality products that meet all necessary specifications and standards.
At AMI, we maintain the most stringent quality control standards to ensure that all our bolts and fasteners meet or exceed the required specifications. We require process control, inspection, testing, and verification of all materials before they are used in our production. Our team of aerospace bolt manufacturers is dedicated to providing top-quality products that meet the needs of our aerospace clients, ensuring reliable and safe performance every time. We even conduct regular self-audits to ensure that our processes and products continue to meet the highest standards.
The NAS9603-NAS9624 bolt family is a top choice for aerospace applications due to its high precision, corrosion resistance, and continuous production. These bolts are produced in nickel-based alloy A286, which offers several benefits such as sustainability and conformability.
