ASTM F3125 A490M

ASTM A490M Black Metric Heavy Hex Structural Bolt


ASTM A490M Black Metric Heavy Hex Structural Bolt – Quenched and tempered alloy steel heavy hex structural bolt per ASTM A490M (now consolidated under ASTM F3125 Grade A490M). Property class 10.9/10.9.3 equivalent, minimum tensile strength 1,040–1,210 MPa. Thread sizes M12–M36 inclusive. Types: Type 1 (medium carbon alloy steel) and Type 3 (weathering steel for atmospheric corrosion resistance). Black finish: typically black oxide. Hot-dip galvanizing, electroplating, and mechanical zinc coating are prohibited due to hydrogen embrittlement risk. Magnetic particle inspection required for longitudinal discontinuities and transverse cracks. Applications: structural steel connections in buildings, bridges, and high-strength bolted joints per Research Council on Structural Connections specifications.

Product Details

ASTM A490M Heavy Hex Structural Bolts | Alloy Steel, Quenched & Tempered

Product Introduction
Metric heavy hex structural bolts manufactured to ASTM A490M, now incorporated into ASTM F3125/F3125M. Quenched and tempered alloy steel for structural steel connections. Two types: Type 1 (medium carbon alloy steel) and Type 3 (weathering steel). Diameters M12 to M36 inclusive, lengths 16 mm to 300 mm. Minimum tensile strength 1040 MPa, minimum yield strength 940 MPa. Black oxide finish standard.

Material & Mechanical Properties
Tensile strength 1040–1210 MPa, yield strength 940 MPa minimum, elongation 14% minimum in 4D, reduction of area 40% minimum. Hardness: 33–39 HRC for diameters M12–M24 (lengths shorter than 2D) and M25–M36 (lengths shorter than 3D); longer bolts require maximum 39 HRC only. Heat treatment: oil quenched from austenitizing temperature, tempered at minimum 427 °C (800 °F). Type 1: medium carbon alloy steel. Type 3: weathering steel with atmospheric corrosion resistance. Type 2 withdrawn in 2002.

Geometry & Thread
Dimensional conformity to ASME B18.2.6M. Diameters: M12, M16, M20, M22, M24, M27, M30, M36. Metric coarse pitch threads. Head dimensions per ASME B18.2.6M tables. For hot-dip galvanized bolts, threads are tapped oversize before coating; galvanized nuts require contrasting-colour lubricant for visual inspection.

Surface Finish
Standard: black oxide, non-reflective matte surface with mild corrosion resistance for indoor and dry environments. Additional finishes: zinc plating (blue-white, yellow, colour zinc), hot-dip galvanizing, Dacromet, Geomet, mechanical zinc plating, and PTFE (Teflon) coating. Finish selection considers service environment and hydrogen embrittlement control for high-strength alloy steel.

Marking & Certification
Bolt head permanently marked with grade symbol "A490M" (or "A490" for inch series), manufacturer's identification mark, and type designation. Type 3 bolts carry an underlined "A490M" marking, with optional additional atmospheric corrosion resistance marks. All markings remain visible after coating.

Supplied as a complete assembly with:

  • Nut: ASTM A563M Grade 10S heavy hex

  • Washer: ASTM F436M hardened

Each batch is accompanied by EN 10204 Type 3.1 inspection certificates and Material Test Reports providing full traceability to production heat. CE marking under the Construction Products Regulation applies when used in construction governed by EN 1090-2.

Application Suitability
Steel building frames, bridges, industrial plants, and heavy infrastructure projects designed per the Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts (Research Council on Structural Connections). Suitable for bearing and slip-critical connections where higher strength than A325M is required. Type 3 weathering steel is specified for unpainted atmospheric exposure.
