A325 and A490 Structural Bolts

ASTM A325 bolts are supplied as plain or galvanized (mechanical or
hot dipped). We offer A325 bolts as Type 1, Type 3 (weathering
steel), or A325T (thread-to-head, in lengths up to four times
diameter, and 105 ksi over 1". The Type 1 bolts are made as
medium steel with sufficient harden ability to obtain the required
properties. The Type 3 bolts are made from composition "A" from
Table 2 in the ASTM A325 specification (medium carbon steel with
Copper, Nickel, and Chromium additions for weathering purposes).
Dimensions are a specified for Heavy Hex Structural Bolts in
ANSI/ASME B18.2.6 and threads are UNC (Unified Coarse) per
ANSI/ASME B1.1.

equivalent to the properties of an ASTM F568 class 8.8 bolt. These
properties are essentially identical to class 8.8 in ISO 898/I.
Surface discontinuity limits are specified in ASTM F788/F788M. The
ASTM A325M bolts are produced to the dimensions for heavy hex
structural bolts as specified in ANSI B18.2.3.7M. The threads are
rolled as specified in ANSI B1.13M, to a metric coarse thread with
grade 6g tolerance.

A490 STRUCTURAL BOLTS

ASTM A490 bolts are supplied as plain (black) only. These bolts are
heat treated to a tensile strength range of greater than 150 ksi.
Medium carbon, alloy steel is used for these bolts. Dimensions are
as specified for Heavy Hex Structural Bolts in ANS/ASME B1.1.

requirements set forth in the relevant harmonised standards.
The two-digit nomenclature is not used to describe individual steel grades and only applies to metric fasteners defined
under ISO 965 (as well as derived standards)
The designation system is based on two numbers e.g 8.8 . The first number is the tensile strength of the bolt material Answer these

Lastly, the actual steel grade used by manufacturers may vary but in most cases, a grade 8.8 fastener (self-colour, In: History

What are the process of making beer?
Bare in mind that people sometimes refer to "high-tensile bolts" which are typically grade 8.8 or superior under the In: Drinks and Beverages
metric fastener system. Grade 8.8 and superior bolts should always have their grade permanently marked on the
head to differentiate them from "low-tensile bolts" as inadvertantly replacing the former with the latter could have
disastrous effects. Recent recommendations
Grade 4.6 bolts are typically refered to as "low tensile" and are often used in the construction industry as these bolts
offer higher ductility and resilience compared to "high-tensile" bolts.
Hope this helps.

Is stainless steel grade 304 and 8.8 is different?

I assume you mean 18-8.18-8 steel is stainless steel with about 18% chromium amnd 8% nickel. 304 is in that
category and is indeed an 18-8 steel. There are other 18-8 steels, such as 301 and 302, so...
