The core difference between steel structure bolts and ordinary bolts lies in the transmission mode, material, construction technology, and usage scenarios.
Steel structure bolts are mainly used in steel structure engineering to ensure structural stability and safety; Ordinary bolts have a wide range of applications and are suitable for general connection needs. The steel structure bolts are made of high-strength steel with high strength grade and strong bearing capacity; Ordinary bolts are commonly made of lower strength steel with relatively lower strength grades. The design of steel structure bolts has special shapes and sizes, such as large hexagonal bolts, to enhance load-bearing capacity and sealing performance; The head and thread size of ordinary bolts are relatively small, and the design is universal. Steel structure bolts are usually not reusable as they are designed as part of a permanent connection; Ordinary bolts, due to their lower strength and strong disassembly, can be reused.
Specifically, the differences between steel structure bolts and ordinary bolts include:
Shape and size: The head of the large hexagonal bolt is larger, the hexagonal head and thread are wider, and the diameter is also larger. This design makes the large hexagonal bolt have stronger load-bearing capacity and better sealing performance when connected. The size of ordinary bolt heads and threads is relatively small, suitable for general connection needs.
Material and strength: The large hexagonal bolt is made of high-strength steel, such as 45 # steel, 35 # steel, etc., which can withstand large loads without easily breaking. Ordinary bolts are commonly made of Q235 steel and other materials, with relatively low strength grades.
Application scenarios: Large hexagonal bolts are widely used in steel structures such as buildings, bridges, and towers. Although ordinary bolts are also used to connect components, they are usually not suitable for situations that require high connection strength due to their relatively low load-bearing capacity and sealing performance.
Installation requirements: Due to its special shape and size, the installation process of large hex bolts requires special tools and professional workers to complete. The installation process of ordinary bolts is relatively simple and generally does not require special tools or professional skills.
Reusability: Large hexagonal bolts are usually not reusable. Ordinary bolts can be reused.
