Problems with Galvanized A325 bolts
(OP)
Is anyone aware of potential problems with ASTM A325 galvanized bolts? We are specifying them on a project, which is new for this company, and they are very leary of doing so. Do any of you know of typical problems with these bolts, uses that they are not good for, etc?

I doubt your application is nearly as critical as most applications for machine screws.
