What are Threaded Rods and how to use them?
Threaded Rods:
Like screws and bolts, the threaded rod is another frequently used fastener. Basically, it is a helical stud with threads on the rod. Similar in appearance to a screw, the threading extends along the rod to cause rotational movements while being used; thus, the stud merges the linear and rotational movement to drive into the material and make holding power in the material.
It's worth
mentioning here that the direction of this rotation depends on whether the
threaded rod has a right-hand thread, left-hand thread, or both.
Generally,
this threaded bar is used the same way as a very long, thick bolt screw: it is
used for fastening or supporting systems or materials in various applications.
Common types
of threaded rods:
The threaded rods can be categorized according to their features, functions, and
applications. In terms of structural elements, there are two most popular types:
Fully Threaded
Rod— These types
of threaded bars feature the threading that runs along the stud's entire
length, allowing nuts and other fixings to mate fully at any point along with
rods.
Double-End
Threaded Rod— These
threaded bars are featured by threading at either end of the stud, and the
center part is not threaded. The two threaded portions at both ends are of
equal length.
Where to use
the threaded rod?
To sum up, the
threaded rod has mainly two applications: fastening materials or supporting
structures (stabilizing). The threaded bar can be used with standard nuts and
washers to achieve these targets. There's also a particular type of nut called
rod coupling nut, which attaches two parts of a rod firmly together.

the applications of the threaded rod
Materials
fastening—Threaded
rods connect metal to metal or wood; they are broadly used for wall
construction, furniture assembling, etc.
Structure supporting—Threaded bar is also used to stabilize structures as it
can be placed into different materials like concrete, wood, or metal, creating
a steady base for the construction.
