Threaded rods, commonly referred to as “all-thread” or “studs,” are essential components in construction, engineering, and various industrial applications. These rods are designed with continuous threading that allows for a secure connection between different components. The IGE Filetée Zn 5.8 / HDG 5.8 M24 x 210 is a specific type of threaded rod, known for its durability, strength, and corrosion resistance.
Specifications of IGE Filetée Zn 5.8 / HDG 5.8 M24 x 210
1. Material and Coating:
- Zn 5.8: This designation indicates that the threaded rod is made of a steel alloy with a zinc coating. The zinc coating is applied through electroplating, providing a layer of corrosion resistance. The 5.8 grade steel signifies the tensile strength of the material, with 5.8 meaning that the steel has a minimum tensile strength of 580 MPa.
- HDG 5.8: HDG stands for Hot-Dip Galvanization, a process where the steel rod is dipped in molten zinc, creating a thicker and more durable layer of zinc coating compared to electroplating. This results in enhanced corrosion resistance, especially in outdoor or harsh environments.
2. Dimensions:
- M24: The “M” in M24 indicates that the rod has metric threading, with a nominal diameter of 24 millimeters. This size is common in structural and industrial applications, providing a balance between strength and ease of installation.
- 210 mm Length: The rod has a total length of 210 millimeters, making it suitable for various medium-sized applications where a secure and reliable connection is required.
