Weathering Steel Hex Bolt and Nut
Product Overview
Weathering steel hex bolt and nut is a specialized type of fastening component made from corrosion-resistant weathering steel material. Known for its remarkable ability to form a protective patina layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions, this bolt and nut combination is ideal for applications exposed to outdoor environments. These fasteners offer both mechanical stability and long-lasting resistance to rust without needing paint or surface treatment, making them an excellent choice for low-maintenance constructions.
At Flybear Fastener, we provide high-performance weathering steel hex bolts and nuts suited for a range of infrastructure and industrial projects.

Weathering steel fasteners, especially hex bolts and nuts, are primarily used where enhanced corrosion resistance is critical, while maintaining mechanical strength.
Material Introduction and Manufacturing Process
Weathering steel, including grades such as ASTM A588 and S355J2W, has excellent atmospheric corrosion resistance. Its unique chemistry allows it to form a stable rust-like appearance after exposure to weather, enhancing protection without paint. This makes it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option over time.
Our production process includes:
- Raw Material Selection – Verified weathering steel (Corten A/B, etc.)
- Heading/Forming – Cold forging or hot forming based on diameter
- Heat Treatment – To reach desired strength grades
- Surface Conditioning – Left uncoated to develop patina
- Quality Inspection – Threads, strength, and dimension checked
- Packaging – Durable and labeled per international shipping demands
Applications of Weathering Steel Hex Bolt and Nut
Weathering steel hex bolt and nut is widely used in industries benefiting from corrosion-resistant infrastructure:
- Construction of bridges, tunnels, and buildings
- Railway infrastructural joints and connectors
- Steel sculpture and outdoor art installations
- Shipping container manufacturing
- Transmission towers and electrical structures
- Telecommunications and solar energy systems
These fasteners contribute significantly to structures where painting or regular maintenance is difficult or costly.
