Industry Insights on 8.8 Grade Galvanized Carbon Steel Hexagonal Screws
8.8 Grade galvanized carbon steel hexagonal screws, also known as high strength extended half thread bolts, play an essential role in machinery manufacturing, equipment installation, steel structures, automotive engineering and many other industrial applications. As industrial systems move toward higher load capacity, longer service life and enhanced safety, the demand for high strength fasteners continues to increase.
As a professional manufacturer, Jiaxing Lanyue Metal Technology Co., Ltd. provides stable, precise and durable high strength carbon steel fasteners to global industrial customers. Located in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, a major manufacturing region in the Yangtze River Delta, the company operates under a comprehensive ISO 9001 quality management system and focuses on innovation driven metal and plastic precision manufacturing.
Main Features of 8.8 Grade Galvanized Carbon Steel Hexagonal Screws
High Strength Performance
Grade 8.8 screws are produced from medium carbon steel and heat treated to achieve strong mechanical properties. Their key performance characteristics include:
- Tensile strength: 800 MPa
- Yield strength: not less than 640 MPa
- Suitable for applications with heavy load, vibration or impact
Compared with lower strength levels such as 4.8 or 6.8, grade 8.8 screws are ideal for critical components and heavy duty working conditions.
Enhanced Corrosion Resistance with Zinc Plating
The zinc coating forms an oxidation resistant protective layer, providing excellent corrosion resistance. This treatment is suitable for outdoor equipment, humid environments and areas with mild chemical exposure. It effectively extends the service life of components and reduces maintenance costs.
Hexagon Head Structure
The hexagonal head design provides better installation and tightening performance. It supports the use of manual tools and power tools, ensuring stable torque transmission. This structure is particularly useful in limited installation spaces that require strong fastening strength.
Extended Half Thread Design
The extended half thread structure offers improved shear strength due to the unthreaded section. It also increases the contact surface between components, enhancing overall stability. This makes it suitable for equipment frames, heavy machinery and precision assembly applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an 8.8 grade galvanized screw suitable for outdoor use
Yes. The zinc coating provides effective protection against moisture and oxidation, making it suitable for general outdoor applications. For environments with high corrosion levels, hot dip galvanizing or dacromet coating is recommended.
What is the difference between half thread and full thread bolts
Half thread bolts offer higher shear strength and better positioning for structural assembly, while full thread bolts provide flexible adjustment and better fastening for components requiring fine positioning.
Can the company provide OEM or customized services
Yes. The company supports drawing based manufacturing, customized materials, customized coating options and large scale production.
How do you ensure stable quality
The company uses an ISO 9001 quality management system, automatic inspection equipment, metallographic analysis, salt spray testing and tensile strength testing to ensure consistent quality.
Are samples available
Yes, samples can be provided for testing before mass production.
