Engineering Studs
Engineering studs are specialized types of threaded rods that are commonly used in mechanical engineering to fasten parts together. They are typically made of steel or stainless steel and feature threads at both ends (double ended), or just one end (single ended). These studs are fundamental in applications that require high strength and durability such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing industries. Their design allows for them to be easily installed and removed, making them ideal for situations where maintenance or adjustments might be frequently necessary.
Threaded Rods (Black)
Black threaded rods are carbon steel rods that have been coated with a black oxide finish to provide a certain level of corrosion resistance while maintaining their strength and toughness. They are used in general construction, plumbing, and electrical applications where they provide robust structural support. The black finish also offers a degree of aesthetic uniformity in exposed applications, making these rods popular in architectural designs that feature visible metal elements.
Threaded Rods (Brass)
Brass threaded rods are known for their corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, making them suitable for applications in marine environments and electrical projects. These rods are commonly used in manufacturing, plumbing, and contracting work where non-magnetic and non-ferrous properties are needed. The natural anti-microbial properties of brass also make these rods suitable for medical and food service industries.
Threaded Rods (BSW)
BSW (British Standard Whitworth) threaded rods are characterized by their coarse thread pitch and angle, which is specifically designed to match traditional British standards. They are primarily employed in the restoration of old machinery and vehicles, architectural restorations, and in any application where compatibility with older British designs is required. BSW threaded rods provide robust fastening in a variety of materials, including wood and metal.
Threaded Rods (Galv)
Galvanized threaded rods have been zinc coated to provide additional corrosion resistance. Ideal for use in outdoor or high-moisture environments like the marine, construction, automotive, and plumbing industries, these rods help extend the lifespan of projects exposed to harsh weather conditions. The zinc coating not only protects the steel from corrosion but also enhances the overall durability of the structural connections where these rods are implemented.
Threaded Rods (Stainless)
Stainless steel threaded rods are renowned for their resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making them ideal for use in corrosive environments such as chemical plants, saltwater areas, and food processing plants. These rods maintain their strength and appearance over time, even under stressful conditions, ensuring a continued high level of performance in structural, aesthetic, and manufacturing applications.
Threaded Rods HT (Black)
High Tensile (HT) black threaded rods are made from high-strength steel grades and finished with a black oxide coating similar to regular black threaded rods. These are designed to handle much higher levels of stress and tension, suitable for critical structural applications in construction and industrial sectors where strong load-bearing properties are essential. Their robust nature makes them reliable components in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures requiring superior strength.
Threaded Rods HT (Galv)
Combining the high-strength characteristics of HT steel with the corrosion-resistant properties of galvanization, HT galvanized threaded rods are indispensable in outdoor or corrosive environments where both durability and strength are mandatory. These rods are especially useful in projects that are exposed to the elements or in environments where corrosion is a significant concern, but high tensile strength is also necessary.
