Carriage bolt: A self-locking bolt is used mostly in hinges and locks to provide a level of security, permitting removal from the bolt’s nut side. Hex bolt: These bolts have six-sided head and are typically used in machinery and construction applications and can either be fully or partially threaded. Square washer: These are a four-sided washer that is usually flat on top. Square washers provide a greater surface contact area, giving more resistance to loosening. What is the difference between a nut and a bolt? A bolt is a metallic screw-like piece with a round stem as its body and threaded at one end, whereas a nut is a small metallic piece of metal with a spiral cut groove or thread that runs around a hole in its centre and can be threaded onto the bolt. Why do I need a nut and a bolt? Nuts and bolts are partners when it comes to fastening parts together. They are almost always used in conjunction to ensure separate items are kept securely together. How do I choose the right nut and bolt? There are a few elements that need to be checked before selecting the correct nut and bolt.
