Grade 8 Per SAEJ429
Grade 8 Per SAEJ429
(OP)
Please help as I am not a metallurgist!
I have a spec for a U-Bolt that reads, "5/16" Steel Rod, Grade 8 Per SAEJ429, Meium Carbon Quenched and Tempered, 150,000 Minimum Tensile Strength."
I have a material cert for the steel rod that says the material certifies to "ASTM A108-03"
Do I have the right material?
I appreciate any information.

RE: Grade 8 Per SAEJ429
By the way, using cold finished bar stock for a small diameter fastener is not very cost effective. You should look at ASTM F 2282 Standard Specification for Quality Assurance Requirements for Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire, Rods, and Bars for Mechanical Fasteners.
