Product Materials Specification No.

FW-9 (ES-PM-FW0009)
High Strength, Externally Threaded Steel Fasteners Sheet 1 of 5

Scope:
This specification defines a high strength, externally threaded metric or English steel fastener
designed to provide a minimum tensile strength of 180,000 psi (1,241 MPa).

Material:
Alloy steel with the following limits:

C 0.31-0.55, P 0.045 maximum, S 0.045 maximum.


One or more of the following alloy elements: Chromium, nickel, molybdenum.
Fine grain.

Hardenability: Must provide 47 HRC minimum as quenched at the center of a transverse


section one thread diameter from the end of the fastener.

Heading Practice:
Must be cold headed.

Threading Practice:
Must be roll threaded.

Heat Treatment:
All phosphate coating from heading must be removed prior to heat treatment. Fasteners shall be
heat treated in a non-nitriding atmosphere, oil quenched, and tempered at a minimum of 750°F
(400°C).

Decarburization (Carburization):
Slight partial decarburization is permitted. No carburization or gross decarburization is
permitted. Carburization or decarburization will be determined by hardness readings (Knoop
500 G load or Vickers DPH 300 G load) as follows.

Figure 1 Hardness test locations for carburization / decarburization determination

Decarburization:
A decrease of more than 30 hardness points from position 1 to position 2 indicates
unacceptable decarburization.

Carburization:
An increase of more than 30 hardness points from position 1 to position 3 indicates
unacceptable carburization.

The hardness at positions 1, 2 or 3 in the carburization/decarburization test may not exceed 435
HV (451 HK)

Hardness:
Hardness shall be determined at the mid-radius of a transverse section one thread diameter
from the end of the fastener. The reported readings shall be the average of four readings taken
at 90° from one another and must be within 39-43 HRC.

Surface Discontinuities:
Surface discontinuities must conform to SAE J123.

Finish:
Finish shall be specified on the drawing. Plating is not permitted

Marking:
The fastener head shall be marked with the following identification, in accordance with Figure 2:
FW9 (i.e., fastener property class) and

the manufacturer’s identification
