The 1/4-20X1 Grade 5 Hex Flange Bolt is constructed from heat-treated medium carbon steel, offering increased tensile strength and hardness. This makes it suitable for applications requiring resistance to stretching or shearing under load, such as automotive and machinery uses. The hex flange design provides a wider bearing surface, distributing load more effectively and reducing the risk of loosening under vibration.
The trivalent clear zinc finish adds a layer of corrosion protection, making this bolt appropriate for environments where moisture exposure is moderate, though not prolonged. This coating can extend the fastener's lifespan by preventing rust formation in typical dry or indoor settings. For environments with high humidity or more aggressive conditions, additional measures might be necessary to ensure long-term performance.
