Inch Size Grade 5 Hex Head Cap Screw
Grade 5 fasteners, typically made from medium-strength carbon steel, are widely used in a variety of applications where moderate tensile strength is required. These fasteners are heat-treated to achieve a tensile strength of 120,000 psi, making them suitable for many general-purpose uses. Available in inch sizes, Grade 5 fasteners include bolts, nuts, and washers in a variety of thread sizes and lengths, allowing them to be used in diverse mechanical, structural, and automotive projects.
Grade 5 fasteners are commonly employed in automotive assembly, machinery construction, home repairs, and infrastructure projects. They are ideal for fastening parts subject to moderate stress, such as engine components, suspension systems, and structural beams. The fasteners are often used for applications that don’t involve extreme vibration, high impact, or heavy loads, where Grade 8 fasteners might be over-engineered.
Users of Grade 5 fasteners range from large manufacturers to individual DIY enthusiasts. Automotive engineers rely on these fasteners for car repairs and part assembly, while construction workers use them in framing and mechanical systems. Hobbyists and small-scale fabricators also turn to Grade 5 fasteners for home projects, as they strike a balance between strength, affordability, and ease of use. Their availability in inch sizes ensures compatibility with a wide range of tools and equipment.
