Carriage Bolts for Engineering Applications
Product Overview
A Carriage Bolt manufacturer supplies externally threaded fasteners with a six-sided head for installation with a suitable wrench or tool. Therefore, this design is commonly selected where a secure, serviceable and detachable bolted connection is needed.
In addition, these fasteners can be supplied in different materials, grades, dimensions and finishes. However, the appropriate combination should be selected according to mechanical requirements, operating environment, corrosion exposure and the applicable project specification.
Materials & Grades
Material options vary according to engineering and environmental requirements. Moreover, selection should consider the application, service conditions and the applicable technical specification.
Common Material Options
Carbon Steel
For instance, these fasteners are commonly used for general engineering, fabrication and structural fastening applications.
Alloy Steel
Additionally, engineers choose this material when demanding fastening applications require higher mechanical performance.
Stainless Steel
Likewise, engineers choose this material when corrosion resistance and durability matter.
Nickel Alloys
For specialized environments, engineers can choose nickel-based materials; therefore, the application requirements should guide the choice.
Copper Alloys
Similarly, these alloys are suitable for selected applications where the application needs specific material properties.
Titanium
Meanwhile, engineers can choose titanium for specialized applications where low density and corrosion resistance matter.
Fastener Specifications
Dimensions, materials, grades and applicable standards can be selected according to the project drawing or purchase specification. Therefore, the final configuration should match the required service conditions.
For reference, ASTM fastener standards cover specifications and testing considerations for many types of fasteners.
