Custom Bolts & Screws - Fasteners & Hardware

Custom Bolts & Screws

M3–M48 bolts and screws to ASTM, ISO and DIN, thread rolled after heat treat so grain flows with the thread.

Special bolts in alloy, stainless and titanium, thread rolled after heat treatment so the grain runs along the thread instead of being cut across it. Tensile testing per lot on request.

What drives the price of this part

Derived from the callouts on this page. Where a driver is not on the drawing, it is not on this list.

Tolerance
Thread tolerance at 6g / 6H is the tightest callout this family carries. Tightening a callout is a process decision, not a machining decision: below the standard ±0.005 mm the work moves to grinding or jig boring, and the price moves with it.
Part size
Thread range at M3–M48 metric decides which machine the part lands on and how many setups it needs. Size is the driver buyers most often leave out of a first enquiry, and it is the one that changes the quote fastest.
Material
The first material listed, Stainless Steel 17-4 PH (630), rates 4/10 on our machinability scale at 32 HRC (annealed) · 44 HRC (H900). On this shop's scale a harder alloy means slower passes and more tool changes, and that is cycle time the quote has to carry.
Order size
Minimum order is 100 pieces, where setup and tooling are amortised across the batch and per-part cost settles around cycle time and material. Below that quantity the same part costs more per piece, not less.

See how cycle time is calculated in the machining time calculator and what else moves a price in the cost driver reference.

How these parts are inspected

Matched to the callouts above and the instruments actually on the floor.

  • Coordinate measuring machine (Zeiss CONTURA G2, two machines, GR&R 8.4% on the critical feature)
  • Dimensional report against the drawing, with a 100% check on critical features rather than a sample
  • Certificate of conformance and the mill certificate with every shipment
  • Thread gauges over the full thread range on the drawing
  • First article inspection to AS9102, because this family carries an aerospace or automotive certificate

The full equipment list, with counts, is on the capability page; the inspection sequence is on quality and inspection.

Questions buyers ask

Rolled or cut threads?
Rolled, unless the part is already hardened or has an interrupted thread. Rolling forms the grain along the thread root instead of cutting through it, which is typically 20–30% stronger in fatigue.
Can you supply material certificates?
Yes, EN 10204 3.1 for steel and stainless lots, with the heat number traced from the bar to the finished box. That is standard on anything going into a pressure or lifting application.
