NOTES :
1. All values are for product analysis (percent by weight). For cast or heat analysis, use standard permissible varia-tions as shown in SAE J409.
2. For studs only, sulfur content may be 0.33% maximum.
3. For Grades 5 and 5.1, fasteners, medium carbon boron or medium carbon alloy steels, as specified for Grade 8 fasteners, may also be used at the manufacturer's option.
4. For studs only, sulfur content may be 0.13% maximum.
5. Grade 5 material heat treated before assembly with a hardened washer is an acceptable substitute.
6. When the carbon content in boron steel is less than 0.25% the minimum manganese shall be 0.60% for Grades 5, 5.1, and 5.2 and 0.70% for Grades 8, 8.1, and 8.2.
7. Alloy steel shall contain at least one of the following elements in the minimum quantity given: chromium 0.30%, nickel 0.30%, molybdenum 0.20%, vanadium 0.10%, manganese 1.65%. Where elements are specified in combi-nations of two, three, four, or five and have alloy contents less than those given above, the limit value to be applied for steel class determination is 70% of the sum of the individual limit values shown above for the two, three, four or five elements concerned.
8. When alloy steels are in the "as quenched" condition, prior to tempering, the microstructure in the core of the threaded section shall be approximately 90% martensite (refer to Table 3).
9. When boron is added the limits shall be 0.0005% to 0.003%.

Note:

1. See footnote 2 of the Scope.
2. Yield strength is stress at which a permanent set of 0.2% of gage length occurs.
3. Not applicable to studs or slotted and cross recess head products.
4. Proof load test. Requirements in these grades only apply to stress relieved products.
5. Grade 2 requirements for sizes 1/4 through 3/4 in. apply only to bolts and screws 6 in. and shorter in lengths. For bolts and screws longer than 6 in., Grade 1 requirements shall apply.
6. Grade 5 material heat treatment before assembly with a hardened washer is an acceptable substitute.
7. "Full Size" means a tension test specimen consisting of a completed fastener for testing in the ready alteration.

Note:

1. Proof loads and tensile strengths are computed by multiplying the proof load stresses and tensile strength stresses given in Table 1 by the stress area of the thread. The stress area of sizes and thread series not included in Table 5 may be computed from the formula: As = 0.7854 [D - (0.9743/n)]2 where D equals nominal diameter in inches and n equals threads per inch.
2. Grades 5.2 and 8.2 applicable to sizes 1/4 through 1 in.
