History:
Hex nuts have been a staple in fastening technology for centuries, dating back to the early industrial revolution. Their simple yet effective design has been integral to the development of modern machinery and infrastructure. The galvanization process, introduced in the early 20th century, was a breakthrough in corrosion resistance, allowing hex nuts made from iron to withstand harsher environmental conditions, greatly expanding their application range. Today, galvanized iron hex nuts continue to be an essential component in industries ranging from construction to automotive and beyond.
