ANSI ASME B18.2.1 HIGH QUALITY HEX BOLTS Gr2 Gr5 Gr8 with HDG YZP ZP BLACK 1/4~1-1/2" all kind of length UNC UNF

Hex bolts (six sided heads) are the industry standard for fasteners with forged heads. ASTM A307 grade A bolts, all SAE hex bolts, and several other common specifications require a standard (finished) hex head. For specifications such as A307 grade B, A325 and A490 that require a heavy hex pattern, refer to dimensional tolerances for heavy hex bolts or structural bolts.

.

Manufacturing

QBH Bolt manufactures hex bolts from 1/4″ diameter through 3″ diameter in most ASTM, AASHTO, and SAE specifications. Special tooling can be created to produce nonstandard head dimensions or bolt heads with your company’s name and/or logo.

High-Strength Grade 8 Steel Hex Head Screws

Made from Grade 8 steel, these screws can be used in high-stress applications, such as valves, pumps, motors, and automotive suspension systems. They are at least 25% stronger than medium-strength steel screws. Grade 8 steel hex head screws are marked with six radial lines. Length is measured from under the head.

Zinc yellow-chromate plated steel screws resist corrosion in wet environments. Zinc-aluminum-coated steel screws are about five times as corrosion resistant as zinc yellow-chromate plated screws and have good resistance to salt water and acids. Also known as ultra coat and armor coat. To maintain corrosion resistance, use these screws with zinc-aluminum-coated nuts and washers.

Match the thread spacing of mating components. Coarse threads are the industry standard; choose these screws if you don’t know the threads per inch. Fine and extra-fine threads are closely spaced to prevent loosening from vibration; the finer the thread, the better the resistance.

Screws that meet ASTM A354BD or SAE J429 comply with specifications and testing requirements for material quality. Screws that meet ASME B18.2.1 or ASME B18.6.3 comply with specifications for dimensional standards.

Product application

Hex bolts can be used for many different applications that include fastening wood, steel, and other construction materials for projects such as docks, bridges, highway structures, and buildings. Hex bolts with forged heads are also commonly used as headed anchor bolts

What are the differences between a hex cap screw and a hex bolt?

These terms are often incorrectly used interchangeably. The most basic difference between a cap screw and a bolt is the way in which these fasteners are installed. Technically, a bolt is installed by turning a nut to tighten the fastener, while a cap screw in installed by turning the head of the bolt to assemble and tighten. Therefore, cap screws are often threaded into a tapped hole on a piece of equipment or machinery or installed in some other OEM application.

The variations between these fasteners are fairly significant both from a manufacturing and dimensional perspective as well as an application standpoint. Generally speaking, hex cap screws are used in precise applications like an OEM setting where tight tolerances are required. Hex bolts are often specified when the mechanical properties are more important than dimensional tolerances, like the construction industry. For example, SAE J429 Grade 2 is typically provided as a hex cap screw, whereas ASTM A307-A is a common hex bolt specification.

Below is an overview of some of the specifics these fasteners are required to meet.

Hex cap screws

• Flat washer facing under the head that meet specific tolerances as described under ASME B18.2.1-1996.
• They will usually be manufactured by a cold-heading process (large runs of standard sizes) or turned CNC operation.
• A radius under the head at the shank.
• Body diameter of plus nothing, minus .011″ for an 1-1/4″ diameter fastener.
• Some common fastener specifications unless otherwise specified: ASTM A449 and SAE J429 Grade 2, 5, and 8.

Hex bolts

• A die seam across the bearing surface is permissible.
• The typical bolt is manufactured by hot-forging process.
• Allows a reduced body diameter to be not less than the minimum pitch diameter of the thread.
• Some common fastener specifications unless otherwise specified: ASTM A307A, A354, and F1554.

This list is not inclusive, but represents some of the differences between these two designations. There is flexibility to use other materials, grades, and bolt standards as agreed by manufacturer and purchaser. So, be cautious when ordering bolts make sure you are clear about whether your projects requires cap screws or bolts.
