Hex Head Bolts

What is Hex head bolts ?

Hex head bolts are a type of fastener that consists of a threaded shank with a six-sided head. The head is designed to be tightened or loosened with a wrench or socket, providing a secure and durable connection between two objects.

Hex head bolts are commonly used in a wide range of applications, from automotive and construction to industrial and DIY projects. They come in various sizes and materials, including stainless steel, zinc-plated steel, and brass.

One of the advantages of hex head bolts is their high torque capacity, which allows for a strong and stable connection. They are also easy to install and remove, making them a popular choice for many different types of projects.

Hex head bolts Specification

Hex head bolts are available in a wide range of sizes and specifications, depending on the application and the materials being used. Here are some common specifications for hex head bolts:

1. Size: Hex head bolts are typically measured by their diameter and length. The diameter is measured across the flats of the bolt head, while the length is measured from the bottom of the head to the end of the shank.

2. Thread pitch: The thread pitch is the distance between the threads on the shank of the bolt. It is typically measured in threads per inch (TPI) or millimeters (mm).

3. Material: Hex head bolts can be made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and titanium. The choice of material will depend on the application and the required strength, corrosion resistance, and other factors.

4. Finish: Hex head bolts can be finished in various ways, such as black oxide, zinc plating, or galvanized coating. The finish helps to protect the bolt from corrosion and other forms of damage.

5. Strength grade: Hex head bolts are also rated according to their strength grade, which is typically indicated by a set of numbers or symbols on the head of the bolt. Common strength grades for hex head bolts include grade 2, grade 5, grade 8, and ASTM A325. The higher the grade, the stronger the bolt.
