High Tensile Fasteners

High tensile fasteners are purpose built bolts, screws, nuts, and studs engineered to handle high pulling loads without failure. They are made from heat treated alloy steel or carbon steel and selected high tensile stainless grades. This gives higher tensile strength and stable clamp force in demanding assemblies where standard hardware can stretch or snap.

Unifit Fastener supplies high tensile bolts and nuts for construction, automotive, heavy equipment, and manufacturing. Our range covers hex bolts and socket head cap screws in metric sizes M5 to M20 including M6, M8, M10, M12, M14, M16, and M20. We stock grades 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9 with black, zinc plated, and galvanised finishes for different environments.

When choosing between regular hardware and high tensile bolts, consider the forces on the joint. For structural frames, suspensions, machinery mounts, and anchor points, selecting high tensile bolts and nuts in grades 10.9 or 12.9 adds a margin of safety and keeps joints tight under vibration and impact. This makes them a dependable choice wherever a high tension bolt is required.

High Tensile Bolts Manufacturer and High Tensile Nuts Supplier in India

A high tensile hex bolt is used where the joint sees heavy tension or pull. When two parts are clamped together, excessive tensile load can cause a standard fastener to stretch or crack. To avoid failure, these bolts are made from heat-treated alloy steel or carbon steel with higher tensile strength. For reference, a typical 304 stainless steel fastener has an ultimate tensile strength of about 515 MPa, which is adequate for general use but not for high-stress assemblies.

As a high tensile fasteners manufacturer and supplier in India, Unifit Fastener offers high tensile bolts and nuts engineered for demanding service. In applications with sustained tension, a regular bolt may fail; high tensile steel bolts resist stretch and maintain clamp load. Produced from stronger materials like heat-treated alloy or carbon steels, and select high tensile stainless steel bolts for corrosion resistance, these fasteners deliver reliable performance where strength and safety are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions About High Tensile Fasteners

What are the grades of high tensile fasteners?

The main grades are 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9—higher numbers mean greater tensile strength, with 8.8 for structural use, 10.9 for automotive, and 12.9 for high-performance.

How to identify HT bolt?

HT bolts have grade markings on the head (e.g., 8.8, 10.9, 12.9), a fine thread pitch, and may feature color codes like yellow for Grade 12.9; always confirm with head markings

What's the best coating for high tensile bolts?

The best coatings are zinc/aluminum-based (like Geomet), PTFE, or zinc-rich coatings for corrosion resistance; avoid electroplating on bolts above 150 ksi

What is the standard size for high tensile bolts?

Standard sizes range from M6 to M36 diameter, with lengths and thread types available as per ISO, DIN, or customer specifications.
