Class8.8 Flange Bolt with Hole for Automotive Zinc Plated

Class 8.8 Flange Bolt with Hole for Automotive Zinc Plated is a high-strength fastener designed for use in automotive applications.

This flange bolt is made from a heat-treated carbon steel alloy and is precipitation-hardened to achieve its specified strength class. The Class 8.8 specification indicates that the bolt has a tensile strength of 1,450 to 1,650ksi (kilopounds per square inch) and is capable of withstanding high levels of stress and torque.

The flange bolt is designed with a hexagonal head that allows it to be easily engaged and tightened using a wrench or other tool. The shank of the bolt is threaded and typically engaged with a corresponding nut to secure the components being fastened. In addition, a hole is drilled through the center of the flange, allowing for the insertion of a fastening wire or other suitable means of attachment.

The zinc plating applied to this flange bolt provides a protective layer that prevents corrosion and wear, enhancing its durability and longevity in harsh automotive environments. Zinc plating provides a thin, sacrificial layer of zinc that reacts with oxygen and moisture to form a protective layer of zinc oxide, protecting the underlying steel from rust and corrosion.

This Class 8.8 Flange Bolt with Hole for Automotive Zinc Plated is commonly used in a variety of automotive applications, such as engine assemblies, transmission systems, suspension components, and chassis structures. It is designed to provide a reliable and long-lasting fastening solution that can withstand the demanding conditions of the automotive industry.

When installing this flange bolt, follow the steps below:

1. Select the appropriate size and length based on the requirements of the application.

2. Clean the surfaces of the bolt and components to ensure good contact and prevent corrosion.

3. Position the corresponding nut onto the end of the flange bolt and align the threads.

4. Insert the fastening wire or other suitable means through the hole in the flange.

5. Apply a thread lubricant (optional) to ease installation.

6. Firmly twist the flange bolt into place using a torque wrench or other suitable tool.

7. Tighten the flange bolt until it reaches the desired torque value specified by the application.

Overall, the Class 8.8 Flange Bolt with Hole for Automotive Zinc Plated provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for fastening applications where high strength, durability, and corrosion resistance are required, and a fastening wire or other similar means of attachment is necessary.
