What is Nickel 200 Hex Bolts?

Nickel 200 Hex Bolts are high-performance fasteners made from pure nickel (UNS N02200 / WNR 2.4066) known for their excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance & thermal conductivity. Designed with a six-sided head, these bolts are commonly tightened using a spanner or wrench offering secure & stable fastening in applications. Hex bolts are widely used across many industries due to their versatility & reliability. They are manufactured by using nickel 200 material to offer superior resistance to chemicals & oxidizing environments to be used for harsh industrial conditions. These bolts are available in multiple thread forms such as coarse & fine metric threads. They can be designed in various lengths & diameters to meet diverse application needs with surface finishes like nickel plating, black oxide etc to improve durability & protect against corrosion. These fasteners have flanged heads for larger load distribution, pre-applied locking agents for vibration resistance & sealing washers for leak prevention in fluid systems.

Fully Threaded Minimum Body & Maximum Grip Gaging Lengths for Nickel 200 Hex Bolts

In fully threaded Nickel 200 Hex Bolts, the body refers to the unthreaded portion between the head and the start of threads — which is minimal or absent.
Minimum Body Length: Practically 0 mm (fully threaded)
Maximum Grip Gaging Length: Equal to nominal bolt length minus thread run-out
This configuration is ideal for short clamp lengths and when full thread engagement is required in tapped holes or with nuts.

Partially Threaded Minimum Body & Maximum Grip Gaging Lengths

Partially threaded Nickel 200 Hex Bolts have a defined unthreaded body portion, offering greater shear strength for heavy-load or structural applications.
Minimum Body Length: Defined by standards (e.g., ISO 4014 or ANSI B18.2.1)
Maximum Grip Gaging Length: From the bearing surface of the head to the end of the unthreaded shank
These bolts handle both tensile and shear loads, making them suitable for flanged, structural, and pressure vessel assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nickel 200 Hex Bolts

What standards apply to Nickel 200 hex bolts?

These standards ensure precise dimensions, material integrity, and mechanical strength. Nickel 200 hex bolts typically conform to international standards such as:

  • ASTM B160 – For Nickel 200 bars and rods (used in bolt production)
  • ASME B18.2.1 / B18.2.2 – For dimensions of bolts and hex nuts
  • DIN 933 / ISO 4017 – For fully threaded hex bolts
  • ASTM F2281 – For fastener mechanical properties
What is the thread pitch of a hex bolt and why is it important?

Thread pitch is the distance between threads (in mm for metric bolts). Use a thread pitch gauge to identify pitch accurately.

Example: M10 × 1.5 means a 10 mm diameter bolt with 1.5 mm pitch.

Why it matters:

  • Affects load distribution and fastening precision
  • Must match the nut or tapped hole to ensure proper engagement
What is the difference between full thread and partial thread hex bolts?

Full Thread Bolts: Threaded along the entire shank. Ideal for clamping and holding materials of varying thicknesses.

Partial Thread Bolts: Threading stops before the head, leaving a smooth shank. Offers higher shear strength in the unthreaded section.

The choice depends on structural requirements and material stress distribution.

How to determine the right hex bolt size for an application?

Always refer to engineering drawings or consult a torque/load chart for critical applications. To choose the correct bolt size, consider:

  • Load requirements (shear/tensile strength)
  • Material compatibility (e.g., corrosion resistance in chemical environments)
  • Hole size and thickness of the materials being fastened
  • Thread type and pitch
