A Threaded Rod (also known as All Thread Rod or Fully Threaded Rod) is a headless cylindrical fastener with continuous external threading along its entire length. Unlike bolts with a fixed head, threaded rods allow nuts to be positioned anywhere along the rod, providing unmatched flexibility for adjustable fastening, anchoring, and structural connections. They can be easily cut to custom lengths on-site, making them an essential component across construction, infrastructure, mechanical assembly, and heavy machinery industries. [19†L2-L6]

Material & Strength Grades
Carbon Steel Threaded Rods
Grade 4.6 / 4.8: General purpose, tensile strength 400–580 MPa, suitable for light to medium structural applications (hanging systems, conduit supports, general fastening).
Grade 8.8: High-strength, tensile strength 800–900 MPa, ideal for heavy machinery, structural steel connections, and industrial equipment.
Alloy Steel Threaded Rods – ASTM A193 Grade B7
Grade B7 is a heat-treated chromium-molybdenum alloy steel (AISI 4140/4142) quenched and tempered. It is the industry standard for high-temperature and high-pressure bolting applications in the petroleum, petrochemical, and power generation sectors. [20†L13]
Mechanical Properties:
Tensile Strength: 125 ksi (862 MPa) min
Yield Strength: 105 ksi (724 MPa) min
Hardness: 35 HRC max
Service Temperature: -40°C to +450°C
ASTM A193 B7 covers approximately 90% of standard oil and gas bolting applications, and is also widely used in pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings. [20†L2-L6]
Stainless Steel Threaded Rods
A2-70 (SS304) : General corrosion resistance, suitable for food processing, medical equipment, chemical plants, and architectural applications.
A4-80 (SS316) : Enhanced corrosion resistance with molybdenum content, ideal for marine environments, coastal construction, saltwater exposure, and chlorine-containing settings.
Surface Finishing Options
Finish | Description | Application |
|---|
Plain (Black) | Raw, uncoated steel | Indoor use, further coating, or welding applications |
Zinc Plated | Electro-galvanized, blue/white or yellow finish | Moderate corrosion protection, cost-effective for general use |
Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) | Heavy zinc coating (≥85μm) | Outdoor exposure, high-moisture environments, infrastructure projects |
Black Oxide | Conversion coating with oil seal | Aesthetic finish, mild corrosion resistance, anti-glare |
