Types of Carbon Steel Bolts
Hex BoltsAmong the most
commonly used mechanical fasteners. Their hexagonal head allows
convenient installation and controlled tightening using standard
spanners or sockets.
Stud BoltsThreaded fastening
components commonly used with nuts on both ends. Suitable for flange
connections, machinery, equipment assemblies, and industrial piping
applications.
Anchor BoltsDesigned to
secure machinery, structural members, base plates, and industrial
equipment to concrete foundations.
U-BoltsCommonly used for
pipe support, clamping, structural fastening, and equipment mounting
applications.
Threaded RodsProvide
continuous threaded engagement and are used for support systems,
equipment assemblies, anchor applications, and custom fastening
requirements.
Carbon Steel Nuts & Washers
Hex NutsInternally threaded
components used with bolts, threaded rods, and stud bolts. The nut
grade should be selected for suitable compatibility with the bolt
material and required mechanical properties.
Heavy Hex NutsHave larger
dimensions than standard hex nuts and are commonly used in heavy-duty
industrial bolting applications.
Flat WashersDistribute the
clamping force over a larger surface area and can help prevent damage
to the connected components during tightening.
Spring WashersDesigned to
provide additional resistance to loosening in certain applications.
Suitability depends on joint design, vibration conditions, preload
requirements, and operating environment.

coating should consider the operating environment, required thread fit,
temperature exposure, and compatibility with the assembled materials.
Plain FinishSuitable for
dry or controlled indoor environments where corrosion protection is
not a primary requirement.
Zinc PlatingProvides
moderate corrosion protection through electrodeposition. Suitable
for general industrial and commercial applications.
Hot-Dip
GalvanizingProvides heavy-duty corrosion protection
suitable for outdoor, structural, and exposed
applications.

Have Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
What grades of carbon steel fasteners do you supply?
Metal-Link supplies Carbon Steel Fasteners in
ASTM A307 Grade A and B, ASTM A193 Grade B7, ASTM A354 Grade BC,
ASTM F1554 Grade 36 and 55, and ASTM A36, subject to the required
specification and availability.
What is the difference between ASTM A307 Grade A and Grade B
fasteners?
ASTM A307 Grade A covers carbon steel bolts,
studs, and threaded rods for general-purpose mechanical and structural
applications. ASTM A307 Grade B is associated with flange bolting
applications specifically for cast iron flanges and provides a fastening
solution for compatible low-to-moderate strength flange joints.
What surface finishes are available for carbon steel
fasteners?
Carbon Steel Fasteners can be supplied in plain
finish, black oxide, zinc plating, hot-dip galvanizing, mechanical
galvanizing, phosphate coating, PTFE or fluoropolymer coatings, and
other project-specific corrosion-resistant finishes. The selected
coating should be matched to the operating environment, temperature
exposure, and thread fit requirements.
What ASTM standards apply to carbon steel fasteners?
Common ASTM standards for carbon steel fasteners
include ASTM A307 for carbon steel bolts and threaded rods, ASTM A36
for general carbon steel, ASTM F1554 for anchor bolts, ASTM A563 for
carbon and alloy steel nuts, and ASTM F844 for washers. The applicable
standard depends on the fastener type, required mechanical properties,
and project specifications.
Can carbon steel fasteners be used in corrosive
environments?
Uncoated carbon steel is susceptible to
atmospheric and chemical corrosion. For mildly corrosive environments,
protective coatings such as hot-dip galvanizing, zinc plating, or
fluoropolymer coatings may provide adequate protection. For severely
corrosive, offshore, marine, or chemical process environments, alloy
steel, stainless steel, or nickel alloy fasteners should be evaluated
as an alternative.
Can you supply material test certificates with carbon steel
fasteners?
Yes. Carbon Steel Fasteners can be supplied with
applicable Material Test Certificates (MTCs), chemical analysis,
mechanical test results, coating certificates, dimensional inspection
reports, and third-party inspection documentation as required by the
project specification.
