Description A heavy hex bolt made of medium carbon steel. The bearing surface shall be flat and washer faced, and the point is chamfered. A heavy hex bolt made of alloy steel. The bearing surface shall be flat and washer faced, and the point is chamfered.
Applications Commonly used in structural steel joints in heavy construction. Used in structural steel joints in heavy construction when greater yield strengths than those of an A325 bolt are required. Used in structural steel joints in heavy construction when greater yield strengths than those of an A325 bolt are required. A Type 3 bolt is approx. twice as resistant to corrosion as Type 1 bolt.
