What is ASTM A449?
ASTM A449 is a Specification for Hex Cap Screws, Bolts and Studs, Steel, Heat Treated, 120/105/90 ksi Minimum Tensile Strength, General Use.Category
Steel Bolting MaterialsScope
This specification covers quenched and tempered steel hex cap screws, bolts, and studs.Ok let's start with ASTM A449 chemical composition.
Chemical Composition
Type 1 Carbon Steel
C
0.30 - 0.52Mn min.
0.60P max.
0.040S max.
0.050Si
0.15 - 0.30Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Yield Strength
Machined specimens (up to 1 in.)
92 ksi min.Learn more about what is yield strength.
Tensile Strength
Machined specimens (up to 1 in.)
120 ksi min.Learn more about what is tensile strength.
Elongation (min.) 4D
0.14.Learn more about what is elongation.
Reduction of Area (min. %)
0.35.Learn more about reduction of area.
Hardness Requirements
up to 1 in.
253 to 319 HBLearn more about what is hardness.
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 A449 currently ranks 152 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 151 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.

Citation
When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. ASTM A449 Properties (Chem., Mech. & Rankings). Materials Blog. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
