Carbon steel U bolts
Product Overview
Carbon steel U bolts are essential components used in clamping, mounting, and securing applications across various industries. With a distinctive U-shaped design and threaded ends, they are typically used to support pipework, attach parts to poles, or secure items to round or flat surfaces. Known for their strength, affordability, and adaptability, carbon steel U bolts are a reliable choice for heavy-duty applications where tensile strength and stability are critical.

Material Introduction & Production Process
Our carbon steel U bolts are made from high-quality low-carbon or medium-carbon steel, typically grades like Q235, C1018, or C1045. These materials provide excellent formability and mechanical strength. The production process includes:
Raw Material Selection – Steel rods are selected for tensile strength and ductility.
Forming – Precision bending forms the U shape with CNC bending machines.
Thread Rolling – Threads are formed using cold rolling for accurate fit.
Surface Treatment – Depending on the application, bolts are plated with zinc, galvanized, or coated.
Heat Treatment (Optional) – For increased hardness or strength.
Inspection & Packaging – Each batch undergoes quality checks and secure packaging.
Typical Applications and Industries
Carbon steel U bolts are widely used in:
Pipe and Conduit Support – Plumbing, HVAC, gas pipelines
Automotive Industry – Exhaust systems, axle mounts
Construction – Mounting beams or framework to poles
Marine & Offshore – Securing cables, structures (galvanized versions)
Power & Utility Poles – Cable suspension, grounding systems
