Inch Size Grade Plain Plating Bolt
Grade 8 fasteners with plain plating are made from high-strength carbon alloy steel, providing superior tensile strength (150,000 psi) for demanding applications. The lack of plating means the fasteners are free from any coating that could interfere with their mechanical properties, such as thread integrity or torque precision. This uncoated design also offers improved weldability, making them ideal for environments where welding is required. However, the absence of plating makes them more susceptible to corrosion. Plain-plated fasteners are typically used in controlled or indoor environments where corrosion resistance is less critical, allowing for cost savings and greater performance in specific applications.
