Threaded carbon steel rods, also known as a stud or all-thread are relatively long and will be threaded from end to end. Threaded steel rod can be found in agricultural, construction, and electrical industries. Applications include: threaded struts in construction, tie rods, hooks, and U bolts. At Metric Metal, we offer threaded carbon steel rod in a variety of grades and sizes. Threaded rod is a fastening bar or rod threaded along its length. Threaded rod is generally produced from cold-rolled steel. Rolled threads offer increased strength, uniform accuracy and a higher degree of surface finish than machine-cut threads, in addition to being lower cost.
Carbon Steel Threaded Rods Applications
All thread rods are used in many different construction applications. The rods can be installed in existing concrete slabs and used as epoxy anchors. Short studs can be used coupled to another fastener to extend its length. All thread rods can also be used as fast alternatives to anchor rods, used for pipe flange connections, and used as double arming bolts in the pole line industry. There are many other construction applications in which all thread rod or fully threaded studs are used. Threaded Rods are widely used in HVAC Fittings, Downceiling, Air Conditioning Fittings and Solar Fittings etc.
Carbon Steel Threaded Rods Coatings / Finish
All thread rod is commonly available in plain steel, hot-dip galvanized, Yellow Zinc and zinc plated. Plain finish all thread rod is often referred to as "black" and it is raw, uncoated steel. Kapson thread rods that will be exposed to the outside elements may need to be hot-dip galvanized to prevent corrosion. Zinc plating can also be used as a corrosion-resistant coating, though a hot-dip galvanized coating will provide greater corrosion-resistance. Zinc plating is commonly used for aesthetic purposes since it can be plated in multiple colors and provides a consistent and shiny coating. For other types of coating as per client's requirements.
