Different Names for Carriage Bolts
Carriage bolts are known by various names across different regions and applications, including:

Coach Bolts:
Commonly used in some areas for construction and woodworking.

Round Head Bolts:
Describing the shape of the bolt head.

Square Neck Bolts:(for square pipes and channels)
Due to their square neck that prevents rotation when installed.

Tamper-Proof Bolts:
Often used in outdoor installations where tampering is a concern.

Slotted Head Bolts: (customized to specific dimensions or finishes)
Referring to the slotted head design of the carriage bolt.
Carriage bolts feature a smooth, rounded head with a square neck that locks into place during installation, preventing rotation and ensuring a secure, stable connection.
Materials Used in Carriage Bolt Manufacturing
As a trusted carriage bolt manufacturer, we offer carriage bolts in various materials that ensure optimal performance, strength, and corrosion resistance for different applications:

Carbon Steel:
Ideal for general-purpose applications where high strength and affordability are essential.

Stainless Steel (SS304, SS316):
Perfect for outdoor and corrosive environments, offering excellent corrosion resistance.

Alloy Steel:
Used for high-strength applications where added durability is needed.

Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel:
Offers superior corrosion resistance, particularly for outdoor or marine applications.

Brass:
Offers good corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal for decorative uses, including furniture and cabinetry.

Aluminum:
Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, and ideal for applications where weight is a concern.

Boron Steel:
Known for its enhanced wear resistance, often used in automotive or heavy machinery applications.
We also offer custom material options depending on your project’s specific requirements, ensuring our bolts meet your performance standards.
Surface Finishes for Carriage Bolts
The performance and longevity of carriage bolts can be significantly enhanced through various surface treatments. Our range of surface finishes includes:

Zinc Plating:
Offers a moderate level of protection against rust and corrosion, typically used in indoor or low-humidity environments.

Hot-Dip Galvanizing:
Provides long-lasting corrosion protection, ideal for outdoor use in harsh weather conditions.

Black Oxide Coating:
Aesthetic black finish that provides a degree of rust resistance, suitable for decorative applications.

Epoxy Coating:
Provides a protective layer that is resistant to chemicals, corrosion, and abrasions, ideal for industrial settings.

Dacromet Coating:
A superior corrosion-resistant coating ideal for heavy-duty, high-stress applications in outdoor environments.

Powder Coating:
Delivers excellent durability and a smooth, attractive finish for various outdoor and industrial applications.

Passivation(for stainless steel):
Applied to stainless steel carriage bolts to increase resistance to rust and corrosion.
These coatings not only enhance the bolt’s aesthetic appeal but also significantly improve their performance in various environmental conditions.
Grades of Carriage Bolts
As a leading bolt manufacturer, we provide bolts with internal threads in various grades, depending on their strength and application requirements. Common grades include:

Grade 4.8, 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9 (Carbon Steel)
Standard strength bolts for general-purpose use.

Grade A193 B7(Alloy Steel)
Alloy steel bolts designed for use in high-pressure, high-temperature environments.

ASTM A325
Structural-grade carriage bolts for heavy-duty construction applications.

Grade 5
Medium-strength bolts, commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.

Grade 8 (Alloy Steel)
High-strength bolts suitable for high-tensile applications.

A4-70, A4-80 (Stainless Steel) (Stainless Steel)
Stainless steel carriage bolts for applications requiring superior corrosion resistance.
Each grade is engineered to meet specific mechanical properties, ensuring that our carriage bolts perform reliably in a range of industries.
