What do you call a bolt with thread only part way?

I need to buy some bolts to replace some rusted and
corroded. The bolts I have hexagonal heads and a smooth
shank from the head to about halfway down, where the thread
starts.
Looking online I find most bolts have a thread from the
head all the way down, this isn't what I want.
Also, I only need to buy three, can anyone recommend
somewhere I can buy bolts in small numbers, these are 9mm
by 50mm A2 stainless, and not cheap (I've found 9mm x 50mm
threaded all the way at about £85/100, I definitely don't
want to by 100 when I only need three!).

If fully threaded they are a set screw.

You want a bolt with a plain shank, rather than one that is fully threaded.

perfectly happy to delve into one of the many apparently identical brown
boxes on his shelves and come up with one or two of exactly what I want.
However, like traditional ironmongers, I suspect he is one of a dying breed.

have what you need. They probably do mail order as
well, although I'm not sure how quick they are in answering
the phone,
For OTC they're on Clerkenwell Road and in the Wembley trading Estate
as a quick Google will confirm.
Their website is down at the moment - which only ever served as a
catalogue in any case - but they do small quantities of screws in
most sizes (in 1mm increments) in most materials, i.e all types of steel,
brass and even nylon. They're not that expensive either
I haven't used them for around 6 months so I hope the fact that their
website is down isn't a bad portent.

A machine/set screw is fully threaded.
Coach bolts are normally only partly thread and have a round cap with a bit
of square shank to stop it rotating.

As others have pointed out, you are after bolts.
Screwfix do packs of 10 but perhaps not in the exact size.
For stainless bolts, try a Marina / Yacht Chandlers, if you are near the
coast- they tend to stock stainless bolts, screws, etc. and will sell them
in small quantities.

Coach or carriage bolts have a parallel thread, a domed head and
and a sqare section under the head which prevents the bolt
from rotating in the hole as the nut is tightened. Which
would otherwise be a problem given the domed head.

To people who know nothing, anything is possible.
To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.

called carriage bolts) Coarse threaded screws that thread into
timber are called coach screws.
In normal engineering usage bolts are partly threaded, set screws
fully threaded.

You sure they are metric? 9mm is not a 'standard' size although they
are used on a few bike and car engines. Also you need to know the
pitch, either 1.25, 1.0 or 0.75mm. If they are not fully threaded
then you need to know the grip length - the length of the unthreaded
section.
You may find them difficult to find even from extremely well stocked
fastener suppliers, finding them in small quantities in stainless
could be next to impossible.
What is the specific application?

that are normal bolts with a domed head with a square just
under the dome to stop it rotating in wood and with a normal
bolt on the rest of it. In other words the only difference between
a coach bolt and a normal bolt is the head.
Coach SCREWS have a thread suitable for timber.

Coach bolts used to have a rounded end with a square section that locked
into a square hole. the word coach is used for these due to them looking
better as just rounded domes on the outside of um, coaches.. I guess it
dates back to the old horse drawn days.

No these are coach bolts. I had a box of them described that way on the box
straight from the factory some years ago. There could be local names of
course but the main description was as I said in an earlier message.

And then the world moved on and we saw plenty of bolts
that arent set screws threaded all the way to the head.

measurements. It's not easy when they've suffered crevice
corrosion (the leak was fixed last year, but I didn't
replace the bolts at the time).
The digital callipers say they're 0.3715"... or about
9.43mm. That's not M9, nor is it 3/8" which should be 0.375
decimal inches (decimal inches?! the mind boggles). I'm
guessing that 3/8 is what they are and either the callipers
are out or these were cheap bolts.
Thanks to all who replied, mostly a very helpful
discussion. I'll be giving the order to Westfield Fasteners
<URL:http://www.westfieldfasteners.co.uk> who appear to be
handy with qty, price and availability.
Justin.

I am near the coast, I can see the sea from here. Trouble

is, there aren't any decent chandlers in these parts -
there are no marinas, or estuaries for boaty types.
And, funnily enough, these are for my boat. The chandlery
where my boat is kept, is, I'm sorry to say, a poor excuse.
Not one of those lovely Aladin's caves one reads of (where
are they, I've never found one?).
Thanks for the suggestion.
Justin.

Actually that sounds pretty close to me - I think the tolerance on the major diameter is about .007" for medium fit (which is the tightest tolerance recommended for bolts under 3/4"). That means the diameter could be between 0.375 and 0.367 inches.

I've heard of bolts which are partially threaded described as having
so much "wood", that is, say 2" of unthreaded shank would be described
as '2" wood', the idea being that often such a shank would pass
through a piece of wood being attached to, typically some sort of
metal fixture.
