ASTM A193 Grade B8M class 2 Stainless steel 316 Heavy hex bolts
Heavy hex bolts have a larger head than a standard hex bolt. They
are used for bridges, highway, buildings and other construction
projects. Heavy hex bolts work well with construction materials
such as wood and steel.
The main difference between a heavy hex bolt and a regular (or
finished) hex bolt is the distance across opposite flats of the
hex. Heavy hex bolts are 1/8 of an inch larger than a finished hex
bolt of the same diameter. The formula for determining hex size is
one-and-a-half times the diameter plus 1/8″.
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

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.
