3. Ordering Information
3.1 Orders for extemally threaded fasteners (including nuts
and accessories) under this specification shall include the
following:
3.1.1 ASTM designation and year of issue,
3.1.2 Name of product, bolts or studs; and bolt head style,
that is, hex or heavy hex,
3.1.3 Grade, that is, A, or B, or C. If no grade is specified,
Grade A is furnished.
3.1.4 Quantities (number of pieces by size including nuts),
3.1.5 Fastener size and length,
3.1.6 Washers-Quantity and size (separate from bolts),
3.1.7 Zinc Coating-Specify the zinc-coating process re-
quired, for example, hot-dip, mechanically deposited, or no
preference (see 4.5).
3.1.8 Other .Frnrsrles-Specify other protective finish,
,x\ired.
,;1,9 Specify if inspection at point of manufacture is re-
quired,
3.1.10 Specify if certified test report is required (see 8.2),
and
3,1.11 Specify additional testing (8.3) or special require-
ments.
3.1.12 For establishment of a part identifying system,
ASME B18.24.1.
4. Materials and Manufacture
4,1 Steel for bolts and studs shall be made by the open-
hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-furnace process.
4.2 Bolts shall be produced by hot or cold forging of the
heads or machining from bar stock,
4.3 Heat Treatment:
4.3.1 Cold headed fasteners with head configurations other
than hex shall be stress relief annealed.
4,3.2 Stress relieving of hex head fasteners shall be at the
manufacturer's option.
4.4 Bolt and stud threads shall be rolled or cut.
F Zinc Coatings, Hot-Dip and Mechanically Deposited.
,.1 When zinc-coated fasteners are required, the pur-
chaser shall specify the zinc-coating process, for example hot
dip, mechanically deposited, or no preference.
4.5.2 When hot-dip is specified, the fasteners shall be
zinc-coated by the hordip process in accordance with the
requirements of Class C of Specification A 153.
4.5.3 When mechanically deposited is specified, the fasten-
ers shall be zinc-coated by the mechanical-deposition process
in accordance with the requirements of Class 50 of Specifica-
tion B 695,
4.5.4 When no preference is specified, the supplier may
furnish either a hot-dip zinc coating in accordance with
Specification A 153, Class C or a mechanically deposited zinc
coating in accordance with Specification B 695, Class 50.
ll Avallable from Standardization Documents Order Desk,Bldg 4 Section D,
700 Robbins Ave,Philadelphia,PA 19111 5094,Attn:NPODS
e so7 -oz
Threaded components (bolts and nuts) shall be coated by the
same zinc-coating process and the supplier's option is limited
to one process per item with no mixed processes in a lot.
5. Chemical Composition
5. 1 Grade A and B bolts and studs shall have a heat analysis
conforming to the requirements specified in Table I based on
the steel producer's heat analysis.
5.2 The purchaser shall have the option of conducting
product analyses on finished bolts in each lot, which shall
conform to the product analysis specified in Table 1.
5.3 In case of conflict or for referee purposes, the product
analysis shall take precedence.
5.4 Bolts and studs are customarily furnished from stock, in
which case individual heats of steel cannot be identified.
5.5 Application of heats of steel to which bismuth, sele-
nium, tellurium, or lead has been intentionally added shall not
be permitted for Grade B bolts and studs.
if 5.6 Chemical analyses shall be performed in accordance
with Test Methods, Practices, and Terminolory A 751.
6. Mechanical Properties
6.1 Grades A and B bolts and studs shall conform to the
hardness specified in Table 2.
6.2 Grade A and B bolts and studs Ilz in. in diameter or less,
other than those excepted in 6,4, shall be tested full size and
see shall conform to the requirements for tensile strength specified
in Table 3.
6.3 Grade A and B bolts and studs larger than l7z in. in
diameter, other than those excepted in 6.4, shall preferably be
tested full size and when equipment of sufficient capacity is
available and shall conform to the requirements for tensile
strength specified in Table 3. When equipment of sufficient
capaci$ for full-size bolt testing is not available, or when the
length of the bolt makes full-size testing impractical, machined
specimens shall be tested and shall conform to the require-
ments specified in Table 4.
6.4 Grades A and B bolts and studs less than three diameters
in length or bolts with drilled or undersize heads are not subject
to tensile tests.
6.5 Grade C nonheaded anchor bolts shall be tested using
machined specimens and shall conform to the tensile properties
specified for bars in Specification A 36. Properties are shown in
Table 4 for information. In the event of conflict Specification
A 36 shall control.
6.6 In the event that bolts are tested by both full size and by
machine test specimen methods, the full-size test shall govern
if a controversy between the two methods exists.
