Description
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for stainless steel bolts, hex cap screws, and studs 0.25 to 1.50 in., inclusive, in nominal diameter in a number of alloys in common use and intended for service applications requiring general corrosion resistance.
1.2 Seven groups of stainless steel alloys are covered, including twelve austenitic, two ferritic, four martensitic, and one precipitation hardening.
| Group | AlloysA | ConditionB |
| 1 | 304, 305, 384, 304 L, | (CW) cold workedC |
| 18-9LW, 302HQD | ||
| 2 | 316, 316 L | (CW) cold workedC |
| 3 | 321, 347 | (CW) cold workedC |
| 4 | 430E | (CW) cold workedC |
| 5 | 410F | (H) hardened and tempered |
| 6 | 431 | (H) hardened and tempered |
| 7 | 630 | (AH) age hardened |
A Unless otherwise specified on the inquiry and order, the choice of an alloy from within a group shall be at the discretion of the fastener manufacturer (see 6.1).
B See 4.2 for options.
C Sizes 0.75 in. and larger may be hot worked and solution annealed.
D When approved by the purchaser, Alloys 303, 303Se, or XM1 may be furnished.
E When approved by the purchaser, Alloy 430F may be furnished.
F When approved by the purchaser, Alloys 416 or 416Se may be furnished.
1.3 Supplementary requirements of an optional nature are provided, applicable only when agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser at the time of the inquiry and order.
1.4 Suitable nuts for use with bolts, hex cap screws, and studs included in this specification are covered by Specification F594. Unless otherwise specified, all nuts used on these fasteners shall conform to the requirements of Specification F594, shall be of the same alloy group, and shall have a specified minimum proof stress equal to or greater than the specified minimum full-size tensile strength of the externally threaded fastener.
1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
