Product Description
M24 x 180 set screws. Please note that this bolt conforms to the standard Grade 8.8 zinc plated DIN 931 Bolt Material Selection of a suitable fastener material for a particular application is vital. This is because bolts are used for various heavy duty as well as light weight applications and therefore the materials of these bolts have to be chosen accordingly. A bolt made of steel as opposed to one made of aluminium can hugely affect the quality and durability of the joint it forms. Other factors such as environmental situations, presence of corrosive components as well as structural stability can alter a materialÕs effectiveness.Some common bolt materials include: Steel Most commonly used material due to high formability, tensile strength and durability. Steel is inexpensively fabricated and widely available. Available in various alloys to provide varying degrees of strength to suit different applications. Plating in Zinc offers and additional protection against the elements if used in a damp environment or where moisture can access the bolt for salt water applications stainless steel would be used to avoid corrosion.
