If I need to cut ASTM F593 bolts on site, what are the requirements for treating these after the fact? Can I get away with pickling only the portion that was cut?
If these are 304 or 316 and annealed then yes, just pickle.
If these are higher strength or a ferritic alloy then you would need to bake them after pickle to assure that you avoid hydrogen embrittlement.
Today, the pace of innovation in the manufacturing industry is faster than ever before, but at the same time engineers are under increased pressure to get concepts to market quickly. Development teams must make fast and accurate decisions during the conceptual stage of design.

In the components business price can often be the determining factor as to what product the manufacturer uses. For a great many mass-market products and applications, the low-cost off-the-shelf, one-piece stamped receptacle fits the bill. The price is right, the performance is adequate. Download Now
In today’s cost-sensitive world, designers are often driven to specify the lowest cost solution for every aspect of their designs to ensure that their solution is competitively priced and their company remains profitable. However, specifying a low-cost, low-quality connector solution can result in premature failure, considerable re-work costs and damage to reputations.
