NAS501 Bolt Specs
NAS501 Bolt Specs
(OP)
Greetings,
Could I possibly lean on the vast expertise of this group to answer a hardware question. Would anyone have any idea as to the specifications for an NAS501 bolt. The only info I can come up with tells me it is non-magnetic and corrosion resistant but I can't find anything regarding tensile strengths and such.
Thanks in advance,

about 30,000 psi yield 75,000psi ultimate. Not as good as an AN bolt.

NAS501 is a non-magnetic cres alloy, hex head shear bolt, rated at 45 ksi(shear), suitable for applications up to 1200degF. That's all the information I have.
Since it is defined as non-magnetic, it's likely to be a 300 series cres alloy. A material with a 45ksi shear strength would also likely have a UTS slightly over 100ksi. Just my SWAG though.
