Nuts & Bolts FAQs

How do I choose the right nuts and bolts for my project?

Selecting the correct bolt and nut combination depends on load capacity, environmental conditions, and application requirements.

  • For high-load applications, opt for high-tensile steel bolts with hardened nuts.
  • For corrosive environments, stainless steel or galvanised bolts offer better protection.
  • For vibration-prone machinery, use nylon lock nuts or flanged nuts to prevent loosening.

What is the difference between standard and high-tensile steel bolts?

The main difference is in strength and load-bearing capacity. 

  • Standard steel bolts are suitable for light-duty applications where extreme strength is not required.
  • High-tensile bolts, usually graded 8.8, 10.9, or 12.9, are engineered to withstand high stress and heavy loads.
  • Construction and structural projects often require high-tensile fasteners for added safety and reliability.

What coatings are available for nuts and bolts, and how do they impact performance?

Different coatings provide varying levels of corrosion resistance and durability:

  • Galvanised coatings protect against rust, making them ideal for outdoor use.
  • Zinc-plated bolts offer a lightweight, cost-effective solution for general applications.
  • Black oxide coatings enhance wear resistance and improve aesthetics for automotive and machinery use.

How can I prevent nuts and bolts from loosening in high-vibration environments?

To ensure secure fastening and prevent loosening in high-vibration settings, consider:

  • Lock nuts (e.g., nylon insert nuts) for extra grip.
  • Spring washers to maintain bolt tension.
  • Thread-locking adhesives for permanent fastening in heavy-duty applications.

What is the best way to maintain and inspect nuts and bolts?

Regular inspection and maintenance ensure long-term reliability and safety. Check for corrosion and wear, especially in outdoor or industrial environments. Re-tighten fasteners periodically, as vibration can cause loosening over time. Lubricate moving parts to reduce friction and prevent seizing.
