Eye bolts are made from a variety of materials includingforged and hardened steel, stainless steel, brass, bronze, and titanium.  Aluminum eye bolts are available but they are not as strong as steel.  Hot dipped galvanized and stainless steel have anti-corrosion features, however, stainless steel cannot be hardened like carbon steel.

For applications that are for vertical lifting only, load-rated eye bolts are available. It is not recommended to use load-rated eye bolts for angular lifting.  Regular nut eye bolts and shoulder machinery eye bolts are mainly used to lift and hold loads that are pulling straight down.  Use only shoulder nut eyebolts for angular loading.
