Why C1045 carbon steel Style D eye nuts?
C1045 is a medium carbon steel with more carbon than C1030, giving greater strength and hardness when heat treated, and the Style D pattern's larger section makes it the heaviest-duty carbon-steel eye nut choice for rugged, hard-service lifting. 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.
Why choose C1045 carbon steel Style D eye nuts
- Maximum carbon-steel strength: C1045 in the heavy-duty Style D section.
- Stronger than C1030: more carbon for the hardest service.
- Forged and heat treated: for reliable rugged lifting.
- Threads on a stud: creates a rated attachment point.
Common applications for C1045 Style D eye nuts

C1045 has higher carbon content, giving greater strength and hardness when heat treated, for the most demanding lifting.
What makes Style D different?
Style D is a heavy-duty pattern with a larger section than Style A or B, built for rugged service.
Are carbon steel eye nuts good outdoors?
Carbon steel can rust in damp conditions and is best protected or coated. For outdoor or wet exposure, choose galvanized or stainless.
