A449 type 2 alloy steel 40Cr 7/8" thread 60mm length heavy hex bolt
Heavy hex structural bolts fall under The American Society of
Mechanical Engineers’ (ASME) standard category “Fasteners for Use
in Structural Applications”. These bolts are for steel-to-steel
structural joints in heavy construction applications.
The ASME standard covers heavy hex structural bolt dimensional
specifications designated by ASME B18.2.6. The chemical and
mechanical specifications included in ASME B18.2.6 are governed by
the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) designated by
ASTM F3125. In 2016, ASTM F3125 replaced ASTM A325 and ASTM A490
which are now grades under the new ASTM F3125 Standard. ASTM A325
and ASTM A490 are still widely used terms throughout the industry.
SIZE: 1/4" - 1.1//2", M6 -M36. And 600mm Max length.
STANDARD: ASME B18.2.6
THREAD: ASME B1.1 , UNC, UNF, CLASS 2A
FINISHED: Plain, Zinc Plated(Clear/Blue/Yellow/Black), Black oxide, Nickel, Dacromet, H.D.G.
