Product type
Bolts are mechanical fasteners that consist of a cylindrical body with a head on one end and a threaded shaft that allows them to be secured with a nut. They are typically made from materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, providing strength and durability for various applications. Bolts are commonly used in construction, machinery assembly, and automotive applications to hold components together securely.
| Material | Carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel |
| Standard sizes | M3 to M30 or 1/4" to 1" diameter |
| Thread type | Metric or imperial threads |
| Finish | Zinc-plated, black oxide, or plain |
| Strength grade | Grade 2, Grade 5, Grade 8, or equivalent |
| Length range | From 10 mm to 300 mm or 1/2" to 12" long |
When selecting bolts, consider the material and strength grade required for your specific application to ensure they can withstand the necessary loads. It's also important to specify the correct thread type and size, as well as any required finishes to prevent corrosion. Be sure to communicate the quantities needed and any relevant industry standards or certifications that may apply to your project.
