Bolts can be made of various kind of metal. They are mostly made of steel that has been hardened to make them stronger. A traditional hex bolt has a head that is forged using either a hot or cold forming process. In the hot-forging method steel is cut to length, one end is heated to 800-1200 degrees Fahrenheit. Using an upsetter or press the material is forced into dies that form the steel into the desired pattern. Cold form uses large machines that form coils of steel wire in a process that creates a finished bolt.

What is the difference between chrome plated and stainless steel?

Chrome plated is using electric plating method to have a layer of chrome plated on top of the metal, (usually iron or steel. ) because of the nature of the chrome it will prevent rusting of the surface of the metal.Stainless steel is an alloy containing chrome and aluminum and many other traceable amount of metals, different grade of stainless has different ratio of contains and give different characteristics to the steel.


What do the marking on the top of a bolt indicate?

The markings on the top of a bolt typically indicate its grade, material, and strength specifications. These markings can include numbers, letters, and symbols that denote the bolt's tensile strength, manufacturer, and any specific standards it meets. Understanding these markings is crucial for ensuring the bolt is suitable for the intended application and can handle the required load. Additionally, certain markings may indicate whether the bolt is made of carbon steel, stainless steel, or other materials.


Why is bolt cutters jaws made from high carbon steel?

When you are cutting or drilling metal, it works best when the metal you are cutting or drilling with is harder than the metal you are cutting. Adding carbon to the steel makes it harder (also more brittle), and since bolt cutters are usually cutting metal, making the jaws from a high carbon steel makes them able to cut more metals than if regular steel, and it will also cut with less force/effort.


Are a nuts and bolts screws?

No. A nut and bolt are a matched set of fasteners. The bolt goes into or through the object it will secure, the nut is spun on to the bolt and snugged up tight to complete the fastening. A screw is a single fastener driven into (usually) wood - there is no nut used with it. There are also screws for use in metal, but they do not hold as securely as a nut and bolt.
