Carbon Steel Slotted Hex Head Bolt

Carbon Steel Slotted Hex Head Bolt

Slotted Hex Head Bolt – Product Overview

Slotted hex head bolts are one of the most versatile and commonly used fasteners in the mechanical and structural assembly world. They are characterized by a six-sided head with a slot on top, allowing them to be tightened and loosened either with a wrench or flat-head screwdriver. These fasteners are primarily used in applications where both torque from a wrench and precision alignment from a screwdriver may be required.

Typically manufactured from carbon steel, slotted hex head bolts provide strength, ductility, and reliability for medium to heavy-duty fastening tasks. Known for their durability and resistance under load, they are widely used in automotive applications, construction structures, heavy machinery, and industrial equipment.

Material Introduction & Manufacturing Process

Slotted hex head bolts are predominantly made from high-quality carbon steel, offering an excellent strength-to-cost ratio. Carbon steel is selected for its toughness and capacity to undergo various heat treatments for enhanced mechanical properties.

The manufacturing process includes:

1. Bar Stock Selection – High-grade carbon steel is selected
2. Cold/Forming – For accurate threading and head forging under controlled tolerances
3. Machining – Slotting and head shaping
4. Surface Treatment – Zinc plating, galvanization, or black oxide finish
5. Inspection – Dimensional and mechanical testing
6. Packaging – Customized or industrial-grade packaging

The process guarantees consistent quality and reliability, making them suitable for demanding applications.

Typical Industries and Applications

Slotted hex head bolts are widely used across several industries. Their robust nature and versatile installation method make them essential in:

• Automotive assembly lines
• Heavy machinery manufacturing
• Agricultural machinery and equipment
• Railway infrastructure
• Wind and solar energy construction
• Furniture manufacturing and metal framing

Due to their ability to be operated with various tools, slotted hex head bolts are ideal for repair and maintenance industries where on-site adaptability is crucial.
