FAQ
A: Hex bolts are commonly made from carbon steel (grades 4.8, 8.8, and 10.9), stainless steel (A2-304, A4-316 for corrosion resistance), alloy steel (for high strength), and titanium (lightweight, ideal for aerospace use). The material choice depends on the specific application, providing varying levels of strength and resistance to corrosion.
A: The strength grade of a hex bolt determines its load-bearing capacity. Grade 4.8 is suitable for low-strength applications, offering general-purpose use. Grade 8.8 provides medium-high strength, making it ideal for machinery and automotive applications. For structural and heavy-load requirements, Grade 10.9/12.9 is the best choice, offering the highest tensile strength and durability.
A: To prevent loosening, you can use lock washers, such as split or spring types, or apply thread-locking adhesive (like Loctite) to secure the threads. Nylon lock nuts can also be used for self-locking, and for extreme vibration conditions, Nord-Lock washers are recommended to provide extra security.
A variety of tools can be used to install hex bolts, including wrenches (open-end, box-end, or adjustable), sockets and ratchets (preferably 6-point for a better grip), and impact drivers for high-torque applications. These tools help ensure the bolts are tightly secured during installation.
A counterfeit or low-quality hex bolt can often be identified by checking for proper markings, such as grade stamps or manufacturer logos. You can also test the hardness; lower-grade bolts tend to deform more easily. Additionally, inspecting the thread consistency can reveal poorly made bolts, which might not provide a strong grip.
