Light weight and corrosion resistant, aluminum hex bolts are easy to clean and require almost no maintenance. China Aluminum Screws, Inc.’s aluminum hex bolts, also known as Hex Cap Screws, are the perfect option for your budget build.

Aluminum hex bolts are not only less expensive than their stainless-steel counterparts, but their lack of maintenance make them an economical choice in the long run. Though naturally a soft material, aluminum can also be hardened to provide you with the strength you’re looking for. The aluminum hex bolt is a viable option for wood, steel and other industrial applications. They are best suited for the aerospace, aircraft, military, chemical processing, and oil and gas industries.
