Looking for Fastener Specification Cross Reference
Looking for Fastener Specification Cross Reference
(OP)
Looking for a Fastener specification cross-reference to base materials. Typically, one would go to a standard, i.e. ASTM and it provides a table of acceptable metal chemistry to produce in accordance with a fastener specification. Then you must consult with a metallurgist and a metals distributor to determine a range of suitable metals. I am looking for a manufacturers guide to refer to the most common metal grades suitable to a given fastener specification, so we can bypass the metallurgist. Any recommendations?

RE: Looking for Fastener Specification Cross Reference
This is what I want, but for metals. To be more specific, if I input ASTM A325 Type 1, I wish to see the following:
Most Common Possible Metals:
C1030-C1052
In a perfect world, I would also like to see this as well.
Specifications with similar materials,mechanical properties and design intent (ie externally threaded fasteners):
ASTM A449 Type 1
ASTM A354 Grade BC
SAE J429 Grade 5

Fastener Standards, Seventh Edition - 2001 ($99.50 in US, $145 elsewhere)
Metric Fastener Standards, Third Edition - 1999 ($140 in US, $190 elsewhere).

You want the Fastener Design Manual link. Pages 37-88 of this manual have charts with consensus standard (e.g. ASTM) and chemical composition (e.g. AISI designation).
