Are Anchor Bolts And Expansion Bolts The Same?

Although both Anchor Bolts and Expansion Bolts play an important role in fasteners, there are some differences in their shapes, materials, uses and roles. This article will compare Anchor Bolts and Expansion Bolts in these aspects.

First of all, Anchor Bolts are usually in the shape of an “L” with one end threaded and the other slightly flat or raised to hold an object in place. Expansion Bolts, on the other hand, are shaped like a long cylinder with an internal threaded structure.

Then, Anchor Bolts are usually made of materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel, which have high strength and corrosion resistance. Expansion Bolts are usually made of aluminum alloy, steel and other materials, which are lightweight and have high tensile strength.

Secondly, Anchor Bolts are usually used for fixing the footings of buildings, such as connecting various steel structures, bolted foundations, etc. The main function of Anchor Bolts is to provide strong support through the tightening effect of threads, so as to ensure the stability and safety of buildings. And Expansion Bolts are mainly used for fixing foundation materials such as concrete, masonry or non-loaded walls, and providing better shock and vibration resistance during construction. With its unique bolt structure and expansion plug design, expansion bolts have a higher sealing load capacity through the action of friction generated by the expansion plug in the hole.
