Hexagon Head Bolts
A hexagon head bolt, often simply referred to as a "hex bolt," is a type of fastener with a head that is shaped like a hexagon, This shape provides a larger surface area for a wrench or socket to grip, making it easier to apply the necessary torque to tighten or loosen the bolt.
- Threading: The shank of the bolt is threaded partially, Threads allow for a secure connection when used with a matching nut or threaded hole.
- Materials: These bolts are commonly made from various materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel, to provide different levels of strength and corrosion resistance. Some hex bolts are also coated to enhance their durability in harsh environments.
- Sizes: They come in a wide range of sizes and lengths to accommodate different applications. The diameter of the bolt is typically measured across the threaded part, while the length is measured from the base of the head to the tip.
