Grade 8.8 – Medium Carbon Steel, Quenched & Tempered
Grade 8.8 is the most commonly used high-strength bolt grade, offering an excellent balance between strength, ductility, and cost-effectiveness. These bolts are suitable for general structural applications where high strength is required.
| Property | Specification | Application Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Medium Carbon Steel (Quenched & Tempered) | Good strength with reasonable ductility |
| Tensile Strength | 800 MPa (116,000 psi) min | High load-bearing capacity |
| Yield Strength | 640 MPa (93,000 psi) min | Good resistance to permanent deformation |
| Elongation | 12% min | Adequate ductility for most applications |
| Hardness | HRC 22-32 | Balanced hardness for strength and toughness |
| Primary Applications | General construction, machinery, automotive, structural steel connections, equipment assembly | |
Grade 10.9 – Alloy Steel, Quenched & Tempered
Grade 10.9 bolts are made from alloy steel and offer higher strength than Grade 8.8. They are used in applications where higher clamping forces or resistance to dynamic loads are required.
| Property | Specification | Application Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Alloy Steel (Quenched & Tempered) | Higher strength than carbon steel |
| Tensile Strength | 1000 MPa (145,000 psi) min | Very high load-bearing capacity |
| Yield Strength | 900 MPa (130,500 psi) min | Excellent resistance to permanent deformation |
| Elongation | 9% min | Sufficient ductility for high-strength applications |
| Hardness | HRC 32-39 | Higher hardness for increased strength |
| Primary Applications | Heavy machinery, high-pressure piping, structural connections, automotive suspensions, critical equipment assembly | |
Grade 12.9 – Alloy Steel, Quenched & Tempered
Grade 12.9 represents the highest strength grade commonly available for metric bolts. These bolts are used in the most demanding applications where maximum strength and minimum size/weight are critical.
| Property | Specification | Application Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Alloy Steel with Special Treatment | Maximum strength with controlled ductility |
| Tensile Strength | 1200 MPa (174,000 psi) min | Maximum load-bearing capacity |
| Yield Strength | 1080 MPa (156,600 psi) min | Exceptional resistance to permanent deformation |
| Elongation | 8% min | Controlled ductility for ultra-high strength |
| Hardness | HRC 39-44 | Maximum hardness for highest strength |
| Primary Applications | Aerospace, high-performance automotive, precision machinery, critical structural connections, high-stress applications | |

Advantages of Hot Dip Galvanizing
Superior Corrosion Protection
Hot dip galvanizing provides 3-4 times thicker coating than electroplating, with typical coating thickness of 55-85μm offering 20-50 years of maintenance-free service.
Complete Coverage
The immersion process ensures complete coverage of all surfaces, including threads and recessed areas, providing 360° protection.
Excellent Abrasion Resistance
The zinc-iron alloy layers are harder than the base steel, providing excellent resistance to mechanical damage during handling and installation.
Long-Term Cost Savings
Although initial cost is higher than painting or electroplating, the extended service life and reduced maintenance provide superior lifetime cost efficiency.
