FAQ
What is the difference between Grade 8.8 and 10.9 for a 10 hex head bolt?
Grade indicates the tensile strength of the bolt. A Grade 8.8 bolt has a minimum tensile strength of 800 MPa and a yield strength of 640 MPa. A Grade 10.9 bolt is stronger, with a minimum tensile strength of 1000 MPa and yield strength of 900 MPa. Choose 10.9 for higher-stress, critical applications.
Can I get a 10 hex head bolt in stainless steel for corrosive environments?
Absolutely. We offer A2-304 and A4-316 stainless steel variants of the M10 hex head bolt. A4-316 (marine-grade stainless) provides excellent resistance to saltwater and chemical corrosion, making it ideal for marine, food processing, and chemical plant applications.
What is the standard wrench size for an M10 hex head?
The standard width across flats for an M10 hex head bolt is 17 mm. Therefore, a 17 mm wrench or socket is typically used. Some heavy-duty or metric fine-thread versions may use a 19 mm head.
Do you offer custom packaging or labeling for large B2B orders?
Yes, we provide comprehensive OEM and custom packaging services. This includes bulk boxes, labeled poly bags, or kitting according to your assembly line requirements. We can also apply custom part numbers and barcodes for your inventory management.
What certifications do your bolts comply with?
Our production is certified to ISO 9001:2015 for quality management. Our bolts are manufactured to comply with international standards such as ISO, DIN, ASTM, and JIS. Material certifications and test reports (e.g., 3.1 Mill Certificates) are available upon request.
