Thanks for all the replies. Just as an update the eye bolt is set on a swivel so that the load is always perpendicular to the load. The shear face of the bolt had a typical flaw at one of the treads due to corrosion. Luckily the other eyebolt did not have any corrosion and saved the bike from...
what kind of corrosion? water causing rust
what kind of environment? steel bolt on steel bracket
What is the mating material? Motorcycle trailer tiedown
What material is your current eyebolt? I presume grade 2, manufacturer doesn't know
How long was it in service 2 years
desired service...
I have an eyebolt that sheared off because of corrosion in one of the treads. The eyebolt was a Turned Eye Bolt (TEB) ½ x 2.
I want the strongest metal that can resist corrosion because of this failure.
What metal would be best for this application?
I am interested in putting an image of a tank in an excel sheet and showing how full it is in cell A1 on the image.
