ASTM A490M Heavy Hex Bolts


ASTM A490M Heavy Hex Bolts – Quenched and tempered alloy steel heavy hex structural bolts per ASTM A490M (now consolidated under ASTM F3125/F3125M Grade A490M), Classes 10.9 and 10.9.3. Metric sizes M12–M36. Minimum tensile strength 1,040–1,210 MPa, core hardness 33–38 HRC. Types: Type 1 (medium carbon alloy steel) and Type 3 (weathering steel for atmospheric corrosion resistance). Thread tolerance 6g per ASME B1.13M. Supplied as assembly with ASTM A563M Class 10S heavy hex nut and ASTM F436M hardened washer. Magnetic particle inspection required for longitudinal discontinuities and transverse cracks. Hot-dip galvanizing and mechanical zinc coating prohibited due to hydrogen embrittlement risk; zinc-aluminum coatings per ASTM F1136/F2833/F3019 permitted. Applications: high-strength steel-to-steel structural connections in bridges, buildings, towers, and industrial structures per RCSC Specification.

Product Details

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

Product Introduction
Metric heavy hex structural bolts manufactured to ASTM F3125/F3125M, Grade A490M, the consolidated standard that replaced ASTM A490M in 2016. Quenched and tempered alloy steel. Available in Type 1 (medium carbon alloy steel) and Type 3 (weathering steel). Sizes M12 to M36 inclusive. Intended for structural connections per the RCSC Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts. Used in bridges, heavy steel buildings, and critical infrastructure requiring maximum joint strength.

Material & Mechanical Properties

  • Tensile strength: 1040–1210 MPa

  • Minimum yield strength: 940 MPa

  • Minimum elongation: 14% in 4D

  • Minimum reduction of area: 40%

  • Heat treatment: oil quenched from austenitizing temperature; tempered at minimum 427 °C

  • Type 1 heat analysis: carbon 0.30–0.48% through M30; 0.35–0.53% for M36

  • Type 3: weathering steel per Composition A, B, or corrosion index of 6 or greater

  • Hardness: Rockwell C 33–39 for standard lengths; maximum 39 HRC for longer bolts

Mechanical properties are certified by lot. Material Test Reports are available.

Geometry & Thread
Dimensions conform to ASME B18.2.6M for metric heavy hex structural bolts. Diameters: M12, M16, M20, M22, M24, M27, M30, M36. ISO metric coarse pitch per ISO 261. Width across flats: M16 = 27 mm; M20 = 34 mm; M24 = 41 mm; M30 = 50 mm.

Surface Finish & Coating Limitations
Hot-dip galvanizing is not permitted. The molten zinc bath exceeds the tempering temperature and introduces hydrogen embrittlement risk. Permitted coatings include zinc/aluminum systems applied per ASTM F1136, F2833, or F3393. Type 3 weathering steel is normally supplied bare to develop a protective oxide patina.

Assembly, Marking & Certification
Complete assembly:

  • Bolt: ASTM F3125 Grade A490M heavy hex

  • Nut: ASTM A194M Grade 2H or A563M Grade DH heavy hex

  • Washer: ASTM F436M hardened

Head marking: “A490M”, manufacturer’s identification mark, and type designation. Type 3 carries an underlined “A490M”. Full traceability is maintained through lot control linked to Material Test Reports. EN 10204 Type 3.1 inspection certificates are available. Rotational-capacity tests are performed on all bolt, nut, and washer assemblies prior to shipment.

Application Suitability
Bridges, heavy steel buildings, and critical infrastructure designed to the RCSC Specification. Specified where higher strength than Grade A325M is required. Type 3 weathering steel is used for unpainted atmospheric exposure where the protective patina is acceptable. Hot-dip galvanizing is not an option for this grade.
