Types of Threaded Rods

Threaded rods are a versatile product used for fastening or joining materials together. These rods are commonly found in construction projects where the length or diameter required exceeds the typical bolt or screw.
Threaded rods are a popular choice for many industries because they provide excellent tensile strength and durability. They are also available in a range of sizes and materials.

Material
Threaded rods can be made from a wide variety of materials. These can include aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel and titanium. They are a good choice for a variety of applications as they have excellent strength, ductility and oxidation resistance.

They can be threaded all the way through the bar or only on either end, depending on the application. These rods can be used in a number of different construction fastening applications, such as connecting metal and wood together or to give additional structural strength to concrete.
These rods are available in a range of sizes and gauges to suit all construction projects. They can also be coated or treated to increase their corrosion-resistance. This can be done by using a zinc plating or hot-dip galvanizing.

Length
Threaded rods are a type of fastener that features threading on both ends. They are similar to bolts, but they are usually longer.

Threaded studs are commonly used as anchor pins in structures, especially in concrete or other masonry. They can also be inserted into wood or other materials to stabilize them.

These studs are available in many sizes and thread numbers. They are typically National Course Thread (NCT) and are 36" long.

These threaded rods can be cut to length on a chop saw or mitre saw, but the best way is to use a dedicated threaded rod cutter. This will allow you to get a clean, burr-free cut with less effort.

Diameter
Threaded rods are a common form of fastener used for a wide variety of applications. They can be used to attach two pieces of wood together or stabilize structures like a concrete wall.

Most are made from metal, although plastic is also becoming increasingly popular as a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel. They are lightweight, resistant to rusting and breakage and can be cut to size.

When buying threaded rods, it’s important to know their diameter. This will help you determine if the bar is appropriate for your needs.

Threaded rods are typically measured from the first complete thread on one end to the first thread on the other. This measurement does not take into account the partial threads and chamfers on each end of the bar.

Threads
Threaded Rods, also referred to as threaded bars and threaded studs, are used to fasten materials together. They can be inserted into wood or concrete to add stability and can also be used in plumbing applications.
Typically made from steel alloy, threaded rods come in either plain finished or with zinc plating or hot-dip galvanized coating. The latter provides greater corrosion-resistance.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sets color codes for threaded fasteners. White represents the strongest threaded rods, followed by red and green.

Stainless threaded rods are an excellent choice for medical, maintenance and machinery industries due to their anti-corrosive nature. This means they can be effectively used in sterile environments without affecting their performance or hampering their aesthetic appeal.
