Your Trusted Source for High-Quality Stainless Steel Weld-On Hinges

Similar to other welded hinges, the stainless steel welded hinge consists of two plates joined together by a pivot pin. One of the plates is welded to a stationary object, while the other plate is welded to a moving object. The purpose of the pivot pin is to enable the two plates to rotate so that the object attached to the moving plate can be opened or closed.

Stainless steel weld-on hinges offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. They are also known for their durability, strength, and sleek appearance, making them suitable for high-use areas.

The steps for installing these types of hinges include welding one fixed plate to one object and another moving plate to another object. It is important to make sure that these two plates are properly aligned before welding. The pivot pin is then inserted to form the hinge connection, and finally the movable plate is securely welded while remaining aligned.

It is true that these hinges have a weight limit. Be sure to select the appropriate hinge size and model based on the weight and dimensions of the object to which it is attached. Exceeding the weight limit may cause the hinge to fail, which may affect its proper function.

Typically, stainless steel welded hinges feature a natural stainless steel finish that is rust and corrosion resistant. Although they can be painted, it is often unnecessary due to their superior corrosion resistance. If painting is an option, proper surface preparation is critical for coating adhesion.

In order to install these hinges, you will need basic welding equipment such as a welding machine and personal protective equipment. If you don't know much about the welding process, it is highly recommended that you have welding experience or you can consult a professional.

Stainless steel weld-on hinges provide reliable strength to your doors, gates, and other swing covers applications without increasing the weight of the product. Here are a few reasons you should choose stainless steel weld-on hinges:

• Corrosion-resistant

Stainless steel hinges are highly resistant to corrosion. This means that you can use stainless steel hinges in humid and damp areas. This makes the stainless steel hinges ideal for use in tropical forests, on ships, and in applications where humid weather is involved. Also, stainless steel is resistant to rust, therefore, the hinges remain intact despite exposure to a harsh and humid environment.

• Durable

The stainless steel hinges are very durable. It is mainly due to the structural strength of stainless steel that the hinges are durable. This is why stainless steel hinges have a high utility in heavy-duty industries and vehicles. 

• Bear heavy loads

Stainless steel weld-on hinges are ideal for use in heavy-duty applications. These heavy-duty applications include vaults, trailers, fire escape doors, etc. Moreover, the stainless steel hinges are ideal for use in military applications where the equipment needs to be heavy-duty.

• Hinges are long-lasting

Due to the special corrosion-resistant nature of the stainless steel hinges, the hinges are good for long-term applications. This means that the hinges will not deteriorate any time soon and you can forget about them after installation.

There are numerous applications of stainless steel weld-on hinges. Here are the most popular applications of weld-on hinges:

• Military Industry

Military vehicles and locomotives have a high demand for stainless steel weld-on hinges. This is primarily because stainless steel hinges are light in weight and provide great strength. Furthermore, the SS hinges are resistant to corrosion and therefore can survive for long in harsh and humid environments. The main applications in military vehicles involve submarine hatches, carriage doors, storage compartments, etc.

• Agricultural Industry

Another important area of application of stainless steel hinges is the agricultural industry. Mainly the barn doors, tractor doors, trailer doors, etc. have a high demand for SS weld-on hinges. These hinges are also suitable for the agricultural industry since there is a lot of humidity in agricultural areas and biological waste adds to the humid environment. Therefore, the SS hinges act as the perfect and long-lasting choice for agricultural applications.

• Medical Industry

Stainless steel weld-on hinges also have multiple medicine manufacturing and other related medical industry applications. In the medical industry, sterilization is of extreme importance. Stainless steel is ideal for resistance to bacteria and other pathogens. Also, it is very easy to sterilize stainless, therefore, stainless steel is an ideal choice for hinges in medical compartments, FEMA doors, panels, etc.

• Construction Industry

In the construction industry, the stainless steel weld-on hinges have a vital position. Lots of storage boxes and construction vehicles use stainless steel hinges. The construction industry requires materials that are light in weight, have high strength, and are not easy to corrode. As such, stainless steel hinges are the best choice for the construction industry.

• Marine and Shipping Industry

The shipping and marine industry also has a high application of stainless steel weld-on hinges. These hinges are usually installed in hatches, panels, compartments, and other areas around the ship. The weld-on hinges are ideal for ships and marine vehicles as they take very little space, are light in weight, and sustain the humid weather of the sea.
