Bolts

Bolts are fasteners designed for mechanically joining two or more components. Typically cylindrical with a threaded shaft, they feature a head for tool engagement and a nut for tightening. Bolts secure parts by converting torque into axial force through thread friction. Various materials, such as steel or alloys, cater to diverse applications. Bolts exist in myriad types, including hexagonal, socket, and carriage bolts, each serving specific purposes. Thread standards, such as metric or imperial, guide bolt dimensions. Their versatility and reliability make bolts fundamental in construction, automotive, and industrial contexts, ensuring structural integrity and facilitating disassembly for maintenance or repairs.
