Materials and Finishes

Mild steel 4.6 and 5.6 bolts suit general foundations and supports. High tensile 8.8 and 10.9 bolts carry heavy loads on columns, machinery and towers. Stainless steel SS 304 and SS 316 bolts are used in wet, coastal and chemical areas, and SS 202 bolts in dry, indoor areas. For outdoor steel work, mild steel and high tensile bolts are usually hot dip galvanized.
