Description
A cap screw made from medium carbon steel and heat-treated. |
Applications/Advantages: Has greater tensile strength than a Grade-2. Yield-to-tensile ratio is the lowest of all heat treated steels. |
Heat Treatment: Grade-8 cap screws shall be heat treated, oil or water quenched, at the option of the manufacturer, and tempered at a minimum tempering temperature of 800°F. |
Material: Medium carbon steel. Use of an alloy steel is also acceptable. |
Core Hardness: 1/4 through 1 in. diameter, all lengths: Rockwell C25 - C34. 1-1/8 through 1-1/2 in. diameter, all lengths: Rockwell C19 - C30. |
Surface Hardness: 1/4 through 1 in. diameter, all lengths: Rockwell 30N54 maximum. 1-1/8 through 1-1/2 in. diameter, all lengths: Rockwell 30N50 maximum. |
Proof Load: 1/4 through 1 in. diameter, all lengths: 85,000 psi. 1-1/8 through 1-1/2 in. diameter, all lengths: 74,000 psi. |
Yield Strength*: 1/4 through 1 in. diameter, all lengths: 92,000 psi. minimum 1-1/8 through 1-1/2 in. diameter, all lengths: 81,000 psi. minimum. |
Tensile Strength: 1/4 through 1 in. diameter, all lengths: 120,000 psi. minimum 1-1/8 through 1-1/2 in. diameter, all lengths: 105,000 psi. minimum. |
