Why C1030 carbon steel Style B eye nuts?
C1030 is a medium-low carbon steel that forges and heat treats well for dependable strength, and the Style B pattern's heavier head and bell give more capacity than Style A in the same thread diameter. That makes it a strong, economical choice for heavier in-line lifting on the same stud size. It threads onto a stud or bolt for straight, in-line loads. Seat the eye nut squarely on a flat surface or hardened washer, engage full threads (at least one bolt diameter in steel), and align the eye with the pull. Carbon steel is best protected from corrosion; choose galvanized or stainless where rust is a concern. Avoid side loading unless derated, and confirm the rated capacity before each lift.
