Talk:Bolt manufacturing process

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Six different tanks for blackening? I only counted 4.

The discussion is oversimplified as it does not deal with typical protective coating processes such as anodizing for aluminum; ozide treatments for brass; passivation for stainless steels; conversion coatings (phosphate and oil), or mechanical plating, or galvanizing and electroplating of zinc, cadmium, nickel, and copper-nickel-chrome for steels.

Also, the picture of the Carriage Bolt is labeled in error; the square shank is directly below the bolthead, then there is a round, unthreaded shank, followed by the threaded section. Acey-Deucy 16:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

The bolt picture is valid as there are several types of bolts, each of which have several types of geometrical features present along there shank. This picture could be said to be one of the more general cases which features the commonly found features on a bolt.

[edit] An article on manufacturing bolts but no article on bolts themselves?

This is very strange. Rexparry sydney 04:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
