In this post I'll talk about and give details about ASTM A563. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.
Ok let's start with ASTM A563 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 hardness.
Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A563 currently ranks 158 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 157 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 A563?
ASTM A563 is a Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel Nuts.Category
Steel Bolting MaterialsScope
This specification covers chemical and mechanical requirements for eight grades of carbon and alloy steel nuts for general structural and mechanical uses on bolts, studs, and other externally threaded parts.Ok let's start with ASTM A563 chemical composition.

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 A563 currently ranks 158 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 157 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.
