Hex head bolts are a type of fastener characterized by their six-sided (hexagonal) head, which allows for easy gripping and torque application using a wrench. Typically made from materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, these bolts come in various sizes and grades, each designed to meet specific strength and durability requirements. The hexagonal shape of the head provides a larger surface area for handling, making it easier to achieve the necessary clamping force when tightening.
Most often, they are coated with zinc or a combination of zinc and phosphate, providing resistance against corrosion and increasing their longevity Most often, they are coated with zinc or a combination of zinc and phosphate, providing resistance against corrosion and increasing their longevity20mm chipboard screws. This coating not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also protects the screw from rust, especially in humid environments.
