What are the most common types of bolts?
The most common types of bolts include hex bolts, carriage bolts, and machine bolts. Hex bolts have a six-sided head and are widely used in construction and machinery. Carriage bolts feature a smooth, rounded head and are often used in wood construction. Machine bolts have a flat bearing surface under the head and are typically used with nuts in metal-to-metal connections.
How do I choose the right size nuts and bolts for my project?
To choose the right size, consider the diameter of the bolt (measured across the threads), the length of the bolt, and the thread pitch. Measure the thickness of the materials being joined and add about 1/4 inch for the nut and washer. For the diameter, use a bolt gauge or measure the distance across the threads. Ensure the nut matches the bolt's thread count and diameter.
What's the difference between stainless steel and zinc-plated nuts and bolts?
Stainless steel nuts and bolts offer superior corrosion resistance and are ideal for outdoor use or in environments exposed to moisture or chemicals. They're more expensive but provide long-lasting performance. Zinc-plated nuts and bolts are more affordable and offer good corrosion resistance for indoor applications or less demanding environments. They're suitable for general-purpose use but may not withstand harsh conditions as well as stainless steel.
