Features
ASTM A193 Certification, Right Handed, Made in USA, Studs provide the ability to obtain much more accurate torque values because the studs don't twist during tightening as do bolts., Because the studs remain stationary during nut tightening, the studs stretch in one axis alone, providing much more even and accurate clamping forces., Dimensional Stability - Black oxide's success is due to its ability to give cosmetic appeal without affecting dimensional properties., Versatility - This process can be applied to many diverse metals including: carbon, alloy and stainless steels, copper, brass, bronze, die cast zinc, and cast iron., Durability - The finish will not chip, craze, peel or rub off. The only way to remove the finish is by mechanical or chemical methods. Protection - Oxidized surfaces have an excellent ability to absorb oils, waxes and lacquers. This enhances the appearance while protecting the treated metal or alloy. Why are studs stronger than bolts? Studs provide the ability to obtain much more accurate torque values because the studs don't twist during tightening as do bolts. Because the studs remain stationary during nut tightening, the studs stretch in one axis alone, providing much more even and accurate clamping forces.
