We supply stainless steel hex bolts, carbon steel hex bolts, alloy steel hex bolts and special alloy hex bolts for a wide range of applications. Depending on project requirements, hex bolts can be supplied in standard sizes or manufactured according to drawings and technical specifications.
What Are Hex Bolts?
Hex bolts are externally threaded fasteners with a six-sided hexagonal head. The hex head allows the bolt to be tightened or loosened using a wrench, spanner or socket.
A typical hex bolt consists of:
- Hexagonal head
- Threaded shank
- Full thread or partial thread
- Bolt length
- Bearing surface under the head
Hex bolts are generally used together with nuts and washers to create secure mechanical joints. The correct material, grade, size and coating are selected based on factors such as load, temperature, pressure, corrosion exposure and application environment.

Fully Threaded Hex Bolts
Fully threaded hex bolts have threads running throughout the usable length of the bolt. These bolts are suitable for applications where maximum thread engagement is required.
Partially Threaded Hex Bolts
Partially threaded hex bolts have a smooth shank section between the head and threaded portion. They are commonly used in structural and engineering applications where shear strength and alignment are important.
Stainless Steel Hex Bolts
Stainless steel hex bolts are widely used where corrosion resistance is required. They are suitable for marine, chemical, food processing, pharmaceutical and industrial applications.
Carbon Steel Hex Bolts
Carbon steel hex bolts are commonly used for general industrial and structural applications. Material grade and protective coating can be selected according to the required strength and environmental conditions.
Alloy Steel Hex Bolts
Alloy steel hex bolts are used in demanding applications requiring higher mechanical strength and performance.
High Strength Hex Bolts
High-strength hex bolts are used in heavy-duty industrial and structural applications where the joint is subjected to high loads.
