Stainless Eye Bolts Large Eye Bolts Eyebolts Metric Eye Bolts

Stainless eye bolts are made of stainless steel. Eye bolt is a bolt or bar with an eye at the end for attaching a hook or ring too. They are used to firmly attach a securing eye to a structure, so that ropes or cables may then be tied to it. Ever Hardware provides custom made stainless eye bolts and customizable packaging. The ring bolt differs from the eye bolt in that in the former the ring is articulated, such that it can rotate about at least one axis, and can thus reduce bending forces on the bolt when loaded and will present the minimum obstruction when “flat”. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does. However, it is not fully stain-proof in low-oxygen, high salinity, or poor air-circulation environments. There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Stainless steel is used where both the properties of steel and corrosion resistance are required.
Stainless steel differs from carbon steel by the amount of chromium present. Unprotected carbon steel rusts readily when exposed to air and moisture. This iron oxide film (the rust) is active and accelerates corrosion by forming more iron oxide; and, because of the greater volume of the iron oxide, this tends to flake and fall away. Stainless steels contain sufficient chromium to form a passive film of chromium oxide, which prevents further surface corrosion by blocking oxygen diffusion to the steel surface and blocks corrosion from spreading into the metal’s internal structure. Passivation occurs only if the proportion of chromium is high enough and oxygen is present.
