Hot-Dip Galvanized Eye Bolt is a type of fastener commonly used in lifting and connecting applications, processed with hot-dip galvanizing to enhance its corrosion resistance and durability.
Here is a detailed introduction to the hot-dip galvanized eye bolt:
Key Features:
1. Standard:
• Eye Bolts are typically designed according to DIN 444 or similar standards to ensure that their dimensions, strength, and functionality meet the requirements of industrial applications.
2. Material:
• Eye bolts are usually made of carbon steel, combined with hot-dip galvanizing to provide high strength along with improved corrosion resistance.
3. Hot-Dip Galvanizing:
• Hot-dip galvanizing is a process where steel parts are heated and immersed in molten zinc, creating a thick and uniform zinc coating. This coating effectively prevents the bolts from rusting when exposed to humid or corrosive environments.
• The thickness of the zinc coating typically ranges from 15 to 100μm, offering strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor or marine environments.
4. Design:
• Eye bolts feature a movable eye loop, which allows for flexible lifting or attachment points at various angles, making them suitable for lifting or securing loads.
• The bolts are equipped with threads, allowing them to be securely fixed into various structural materials such as metal, wood, or concrete.
5. Load Capacity:
• The load capacity of the hot-dip galvanized eye bolt depends on its material, size, and the quality of the galvanizing process. It is generally used for lifting heavy loads or industrial applications.
• When selecting, ensure that the load capacity of the bolt meets the specific requirements of the lifting operation.
6. Applications:
• Due to their excellent corrosion resistance, hot-dip galvanized eye bolts are widely used in outdoor construction, building, marine, and industrial lifting applications. Specific applications include:
• Construction: For lifting heavy items, such as building materials or machinery.
• Marine: For securing equipment or other structures on ships or offshore platforms.
• Industrial Lifting: For hoisting heavy equipment or materials in factories or warehouses.
7. Corrosion Resistance:
• Hot-dip galvanizing provides superior corrosion resistance, making the eye bolts ideal for use in long-term exposure to humid, corrosive environments such as seawater or chemical environments.
8. High-Strength Limitation:
• Due to the high temperatures involved in the hot-dip galvanizing process, it is typically not recommended for use with bolts rated above 10.9, as the thick zinc coating may affect the bolt's strength.
Common Applications:
• Lifting and Hoisting Operations: Used in construction sites, ships, and warehouses for lifting tasks.
• Building Construction: For lifting and securing heavy items during building projects.
• Marine and Offshore Applications: Used in marine environments to ensure the longevity and durability of bolts under salty and humid conditions.
