Shouldered Bolts Hex Head Shoulder Bolt Socket Shoulder Bolt Gr 10.9

Shouldered bolts are screws with an unthreaded shoulder that is larger in diameter than the threads. Also known as stripper bolt. The cylindrical shoulder that allows for the rotation of attached parts like pulleys, gears, moving parts of engines and mechanical assemblies, and rolling wheels. Shouldered bolts also used to attach stripper plates. The socket head enables high torque fastening with limited clearance. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

Heat treating makes the shouldered bolts high tensile to reaches on Grade 8.8 or 10.9 or 12.9. Heat treating is a group of industrial and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatments are also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as glass. Heat treatment involves the use of heating or chilling, normally to extreme temperatures, to achieve the desired result such as hardening or softening of a material. Heat treatment techniques include annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering, normalizing, and quenching. It is noteworthy that while the term heat treatment applies only to processes where the heating and cooling are done for the specific purpose of altering properties intentionally, heating and cooling often occur incidentally during other manufacturing processes such as hot forming or welding.

Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the shouldered bolts by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not cause a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed.
