Heavy hex bolts black surface UNC full thread ASTM A193 Grade B7
High strength bolts or structural bolts are made to be used with
heavy hex nuts to connect structural members. To be considered a
structural connection, it has to conform to specific ASTM
standards; specifically, ASTM A563 or ASTM A194.
Structural bolts are also categorized by grades. The grading system
takes into consideration the bolt’s material, its size range, its
proof load, the minimum yield strength, and the minimum tensile
strength.
A193 Grade B7: Alloy steel, AISI 4140 / 4142 quenched and tempered.
A193 Grade B8, Class 1: Stainless steel, AISI 304, carbide solution treated.
A193 Grade B8, Class 2: Stainless steel, AISI 304, carbide solution treated, strain
hardened.
A193 Grade B8M, Class 1: Stainless steel, AISI 316, carbide solution treated.
A193 Grade B8M, Class 2: Stainless steel, AISI 316, carbide solution treated, strain
hardened.
A193 Grade B16: Alloy steel, chromium-molybdenum-vanadium, quenched and tempered.
