I have a bolted joint with M24 12.9 bolts, we've experienced some joint seperation in a few situations and are considering a higher strength bolt so we can apply more pre-load. Inconel 718 or MP35 seem to rise to the top of the list. This joint sees about 10000 cycles in saltwater in two years and is then is replaced. Any words to the wise about issues with these higher strength bolts?
