Unfortunately, not all bolts are created equal. If low-quality bolts are used in critical applications, they can fail catastrophically, causing costly damage and potentially injuring people.

A recent case history from ASM Failure Analysis highlights the risks of using low-quality bolts. In this case, a four-wheel drive vehicle experienced a wheel detachment due to the failure of six galvanized high-tensile steel bolts.

The exact cause of the bolt failure is unknown, but it highlights the importance of using high-quality bolts in automotive and industrial applications. When it comes to fasteners, quality matters.
