In this post I'll talk about and give details about ASTM A307. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.
Ok let's start with ASTM A307 chemical composition.
Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Learn more about what is tensile strength.
Learn more about what is elongation.
Learn more about reduction of area.
Learn more about what is hardness.
Learn more about density.
Learn more about the Elastic Modulus.
Learn more about the poisson ratio.
Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A307 currently ranks 147 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 146 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.

What is ASTM A307?
ASTM A307 is a Specification for Carbon Steel Bolts and Studs, 60 000 PSI Tensile Strength.Category
Steel Bolting MaterialsScope
This specification covers the chemical and mechanical requirements of three grades of carbon steel bolts and studs in sizes 1⁄4 in. through 4 in.Ok let's start with ASTM A307 chemical composition.
Chemical Composition
Grade B
C max.
0.33Mn max.
1.25P max.
0.041S max.
0.051Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Tensile Strength
Grade B
60 - 100 ksi minLearn more about what is tensile strength.
Elongation (min.) 50 mm
0.18.Learn more about what is elongation.
Reduction of Area (min. %)
Not Required.Learn more about reduction of area.
Hardness Requirements
Grade B
121 to 212 HB or 69 to 95 HRBLearn more about what is hardness.
Density
7800 - 8000 kg/m3 (around 7.9 g/cm3 or 0.285 lb/in3).Learn more about density.
Elastic Modulus
190 GPa (27557 ksi) - 210GPa (30458 ksi).Learn more about the Elastic Modulus.
Poisson's Ratio
0.27 – 0.30.Learn more about the poisson ratio.
Allowable Stress
Depends on the project (And its factor of safety).Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
My Material's Rank
While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A307 currently ranks 147 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 146 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.
