Product Introduction
High-strength bolts employ controlled preload to "weld" discrete components into a unified whole, enabling structures to withstand prolonged vibration, impact and extreme loads. They form the cornerstone of secure connections in modern industrial and construction engineering.
Grade 8.8, Grade 10.9 and Grade 12.9 bolts are the three most widely used high-strength bolts on the market.
Performance Parameters
| Comparison dimension | Grade 8.8 bolts | Grade 10.9 bolts | Grade 12.9 bolts |
| Mechanical Properties | Medium-high strength, offering a favourable balance between strength and toughness | High strength, the most commonly used grade, delivering excellent overall performance | Ultra-high strength, the highest strength grade, yet demanding exceptionally high levels of toughness and resistance to delayed fracture |
| Material Composition | Medium-carbon steel and low-alloy steel, subjected to quenching and tempering treatment | Alloy steel, requiring quenching and tempering heat treatment | High-grade alloy steel, necessitating rigorous quenching and tempering heat treatment and refining processes |
| Surface Finish | Common treatments such as galvanising, blackening, and phosphating | Dacromet, hot-dip galvanising, phosphating, etc., require attention to hydrogen embrittlement risks | Surface treatment demands exceptionally high standards, necessitating low-hydrogen embrittlement processes and rigorous dehydrogenation treatment |
| Installation Preload | Medium. Under identical specifications, its permissible preload is approximately 70% of Grade 10.9. | High. The mainstream choice for critical connections such as steel structures, offering substantial preload. | Extremely high. Provides maximum clamping force but demands the strictest control over installation torque precision and friction coefficient. |
| Fatigue Resistance | Good, suitable for general dynamic loads | Excellent, preferred for alternating loads | Theoretically optimal, but may become more sensitive to surface defects if improperly controlled, potentially reducing effectiveness |
