ASTM A325 Heavy Hex Structural Bolts

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction

ASTM A325 heavy hex structural bolts are medium carbon steel bolts for steel-to-steel connections in buildings and bridges. Minimum tensile strength is 120 ksi up to 1 inch diameter and 105 ksi above, and the heavy hex head gives a large bearing area. The standard is now published inside ASTM F3125 as Grade A325. They are used with ASTM A563 heavy hex nuts and F436 hardened washers.

Shanghai Soverchannel Industrial Co., Ltd. produces A325 bolts in sizes from 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch at its Nantong Jinzhai Hardware plant, with hot-dip galvanized or plain finish, and supplies nuts and washers as matching sets.

Advantages

Applications

Machinery Assembly

Frames, gearbox housings, motor mounts and guards where a full thread gives maximum engagement.

Equipment Maintenance

Replacement bolts for pumps, conveyors and crushers, ordered by standard number and class.

Steel Framing

Brackets, base plates and light structural connections.

Automotive Chassis

Cross-members, subframe brackets and suspension mounts where class 8.8 is specified.

Agricultural Machinery

Implement frames and hitch assemblies exposed to dirt and vibration.

Core Features

  1. Hex head: standard wrench sizes allow fast tightening with common tools.
  2. Quenched and tempered core: delivers the 800 MPa tensile level required for class 8.8.
  3. Rolled thread: improves fatigue performance compared with cut threads.
  4. Gauge-checked threads: go and no-go gauges confirm fit before packing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between DIN 933 and DIN 931?
DIN 933 is fully threaded, while DIN 931 has a plain shank section. Use DIN 933 for short grips or tapped holes, and DIN 931 when the unthreaded shank should carry shear load.
Is DIN 933 the same as ISO 4017?
Dimensions are very close and the two are used interchangeably in most orders. State both numbers on the purchase order and the drawing to avoid confusion at inspection.
Can I get class 8.8 bolts with a hot-dip galvanized finish?
Yes. Class 8.8 is generally accepted for hot-dip galvanizing. Nuts must then be tapped oversize so the thread still assembles.
What documents can be supplied with an order?
Material certificates, mechanical test reports and coating thickness records can be provided for each batch when requested at the quotation stage.
