Our ASTM BSW UNC hex head bolts are designed for secure fastening in applications that use imperial thread systems or DIN‑standard bolt structures. The hexagonal head provides convenient installation with standard spanners and sockets, making the bolts suitable for both assembly and maintenance work.
This product range is available in steel and stainless steel material options. Steel bolts offer a practical balance of strength, availability, and cost efficiency, while stainless steel options are suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is a higher priority.
With multiple thread standards, strength grades, diameters, and lengths available, these hex bolts are suitable for wholesalers, distributors, OEM customers, engineering contractors, and industrial buyers.

Steel hex bolts are widely used in industrial fastening because they offer dependable strength, good machinability, and cost‑effective sourcing. They are suitable for machinery production, construction projects, engineering maintenance, and regular hardware distribution.
Stainless steel hex bolts are suitable for applications where improved corrosion resistance is important. They can be selected for humid, outdoor, food‑processing, marine‑adjacent, or general corrosion‑sensitive environments, depending on the required stainless steel grade.

BSW, or British Standard Whitworth thread, is commonly used in British‑standard machinery, equipment repair, and legacy industrial applications. It is a practical choice for buyers serving markets where Whitworth thread systems remain in use.
UNC, or Unified National Coarse thread, is widely used in North American equipment, automotive applications, machinery, and industrial repair work. Its coarse thread form supports practical assembly and maintenance in many common fastening environments.
| Standard | Bolt Structure | Suitable Use |
|---|---|---|
| DIN 933 | Fully threaded hex head bolt | Suitable for applications requiring thread engagement along the full bolt length |
| DIN 931 | Partially threaded hex head bolt | Suitable for structural assemblies and applications requiring an unthreaded shank section |
