A490 American Standard Heavy Hex Bolts Manufacturer in China

Ningbo Teng Qi Fasteners Co., Ltd is a leading A490 American Standard heavy hex bolts manufacturer in China. The A490 heavy hex bolt is a type of high-strength structural bolt made from alloy steel. It’s commonly used in heavy construction and structural applications where strong connections are required. A490 bolts are designed to provide a secure and reliable connection in projects such as bridges, buildings, and other critical structures. These bolts have specific mechanical and dimensional requirements outlined in the ASTM A490 standard, ensuring their suitability for demanding and high-load environments.

The ASTM A490 specification covered quenched and tempered, alloy steel, heavy hex structural bolts from 1/2″ diameter through 1-1/2″ diameter with a minimum 150 ksi tensile. For bolts with different thread lengths than specified for structural bolts but with similar mechanical properties, see Specification A354 grade BD. ASTM A490 bolts are typically not recommended for hot dip galvanizing due to the potential for hydrogen embrittlement, which can reduce the mechanical properties of the bolts. Instead, other methods of corrosion protection, such as mechanical zinc plating or other suitable coatings, are often used for A490 bolts to maintain their high-strength properties.
