6 inch common nails for thick lumber construction industry

6 Inch Common Nails
 
1. Materials
 
1. Main raw material: Low carbon steel wire (Q195 / Q235 mild steel), the most widely used for common nails
2. Auxiliary materials: Zinc ingot (for galvanized), anti-rust oil, polishing wax
3. Material advantages: Low carbon steel has good ductility, easy to forge nail heads & sharp points, low cost
 
2. Features
 
- Size specification: 6 inch length, standard thick shank for heavy load
- Structure: Flat round head, smooth cylindrical shank, sharp diamond point for easy penetration into wood
- High tensile strength & bending resistance, not easy to break when hammering
- Uniform wire diameter, consistent nail length, no burrs on shank surface
- Standard head size, won’t sink fully into wood surface when nailing
- High production density, stable dimension tolerance
 
3. Surface Treatment
 
1. Bright Polished (Black Wire Nails / Bright Nails)
Polished by wax, silver metallic luster, temporary anti-rust effect, low cost, indoor dry use only.
2. Electro Galvanized (EG)
Thin zinc coating, silver-grey surface, basic rust resistance, suitable for indoor & mild humid environment.
3. Hot Dipped Galvanized (HDG)
Thick zinc layer, matte grey, excellent anti-corrosion & rust-proof performance, outdoor, wet, coastal scenarios.
4. Oil Dipped
Coated with anti-rust oil after polishing, short-term rust prevention for stock & sea transportation.
 
4. Export Packing
 
Inner packing
 
- 1kg / 2kg / 5kg / 25kg plastic woven bags; small bags with plastic film inner lining for moisture proof
- Small retail packs: Plastic box, paper carton with color printing for supermarket sales
 
Outer shipping packing
 
1. Woven sack outer package: 25kg per bag, stacked on wooden pallets
2. Hard corrugated cartons: 20–25kg per carton, palletized with stretch film wrapping
3. Export pallet standard: Heat-treated wooden pallets (IPPC marked) to meet customs fumigation rules
4. Auxiliary protection: Waterproof plastic film cover all pallets, desiccant inside bags to prevent sea moisture rust
5. Marking: Carton/bag printed with size (6"), weight, material, surface treatment, quantity, origin, shipping mark
 
5. Applications
 
6-inch long common nails are heavy-duty wood fasteners for thick lumber:
 
1. Construction industry: Framing wooden house beams, rafters, wooden floor joists, wall studs, formwork fixing
2. Woodworking: Heavy timber furniture, wooden pallet & crate manufacturing, large wooden boxes
3. Decoration: Thick wood keel fixing, outdoor wooden fences, garden wooden pergolas
4. Packaging & logistics: Large wooden shipping pallets, heavy-duty wooden packing cases
5. Outdoor engineering: Wooden docks, farm wooden sheds, lumber fence installation (choose HDG type for outdoor)
6. General carpentry: Joining thick planks, log structures, rough carpentry projects
