Carbon Steel Zinc Plated Grade 8.8 Hexagon Flange Bolt

Carbon Steel Zinc Plated Grade 8.8 Hexagon Flange Bolt

Product Overview

Grade 8.8 hexagon flange bolts are high-strength carbon steel fasteners equipped with an integrated flange under the head, providing a larger bearing surface that distributes load evenly. With a galvanized surface finish, these bolts offer moderate corrosion resistance and are ideal for applications requiring both secure tightening and improved clamping force. The combination of strength, ease of installation, and anti-loosening performance makes them a popular choice in automotive, mechanical, and structural assemblies.

Material Introduction & Production Process

These flange bolts are made of medium carbon steel, heat-treated to achieve the mechanical properties required for grade 8.8. The zinc plating provides a protective layer that delays rust and enhances the bolt’s appearance.

Production Steps:

  1. Raw carbon steel bar selection and inspection

  2. Cold heading and forging of hex head with flange

  3. Thread rolling for precision threading

  4. Heat treatment (quenching and tempering)

  5. Zinc electroplating

  6. Dimensional inspection and mechanical testing

This controlled process ensures structural integrity and tight manufacturing tolerances for safe and reliable performance.

Typical Applications & Industry Use

Grade 8.8 hexagon flange bolts are widely used in:

  • Automotive engines, chassis, and suspension systems

  • Agricultural equipment and trailers

  • Steel structures and metal frame assembly

  • Heavy machinery and power transmission systems

  • Railway components and rail fastening systems

The built-in flange eliminates the need for separate washers, offering time savings during assembly.
