Hex Bolts - UNC - A2 Stainless Steel

A hexagon bolt, or hex bolt to give it its more common name, is a threaded bolt with a plain shank and hexagon shaped head.

UNC stands for Unified National Coarse. It is a common imperial thread type with less threads per axial distance than its UNF equivalent.

A2 stainless steel is often referred to as 304 or 18/8 Stainless. 18/8 actually refers to the amount of chromium and nickel in the alloy - 18% chromium and 8% nickel.

A2 stainless is the most common type of steel used for the manufacture of fasteners and is suitable for general use.
