Metric bolts having a 12mm thread diameter are known as M12 bolts. Although they have several uses, they are frequently employed to link various types of wood together or to fasten metal to wood. They are viewed as a strong bolt that works well for structural joints.
Allen head screws, also known as ASTM A574 socket head cap screws, have a cylindrical head with a flat chamfered top surface, cylindrical sides with knurling, and a hexagonal recess. The entire specification for quenched and tempered high strength alloy steel hexagon socket head cap screws is covered by ASTM A574.

Adults typically have a head circumference of between 53 and 58 millimeters. A man's hat size will typically be 59 millimeters, whereas a woman's hat size will typically be 57 cm.
The manner in which these fasteners are installed is the fundamental distinction between a cap screw and a bolt. Technically speaking, a cap screw is inserted by twisting the head of the bolt to assemble and tighten, whereas a bolt is installed by turning a nut to tighten the fastener.

For metric screws, the letter "M" stands for the thread's nominal outside diameter in millimeters.
As per ASME B18.3, B18.3.1M, DIN 912, DIN 6912, DIN 7984, ISO 4762, among other standards, Boltport offers ASTM A193 Grade B7 Socket Head Cap Screws with coarse, fine, and extra fine threads. The full spectrum of metric and imperial sizes, lengths, and customization are available for socket head cap screws.
M- stands for metric, and the bolt is marked M5X18. 5- Makes reference to the bolt shaft's nominal diameter in millimeters. The metric thread size and bolt length are divided by an X. 18 – This indicates that the bolt's threaded portion is 18mm long.
