Materials used for Hex Bolts
- Brass is a copper alloy which is more expensive than steel. It gives a better level of corrosion resistance.
- Stainless Steel gives good corrosion resistance and can be used outdoors. There are two different types of stainless steel: A4 (316) has a higher corrosion resistance than A2 (304). Both grades can handle low and high temperatures.
- Steel comes in different grade and strengths. A higher number indicates a stronger, more hardened material.
- Zinc Plated Steel is used on bolts for indoor use and gives a moderate corrosion resistance.
