Product Overview

What are ASTM A193 Grade B7 Bolts?

ASTM A193 Grade B7 bolts are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured from quenched and tempered chromium-molybdenum steel, typically conforming to AISI 4140/4142. Designed for use in high-pressure and high-temperature bolted flange connections, these bolts deliver a minimum tensile strength of 860 MPa (125 ksi) and are widely specified for petrochemical, power generation, and oil & gas applications.

ASTM A193 B7 bolts are the industry standard for pressure vessel and piping flange bolting, offering reliable performance up to 450°C. They are supplied with full traceability, mechanical testing, and are compatible with ASTM A194 Grade 2H or 7 nuts for critical service.

Material Chemistry

ASTM A193 Grade B7 Chemical Composition

ASTM A193 Grade B7 Bolts are manufactured from chromium-molybdenum alloy steel with Cr (0.8–1.1%), Mo (0.15–0.65%), and vanadium additions in B16 grades, controlled per ASTM and ASME SA-193. Cr-Mo additions raise hardenability and creep rupture strength for pressure vessel service; vanadium in B16 extends the allowable service temperature to 538°C.

Why ASTM A193 Grade B7 Alloy Composition Matters for Bolts

Cr-Mo Alloy — High Strength & Creep Resistance
Chromium and molybdenum additions provide B7 bolts with high tensile strength, improved hardenability, and resistance to softening at elevated temperatures, making them ideal for pressure vessel and flange bolting.
Controlled Carbon — Toughness & Ductility
The specified carbon range ensures a balance between strength and ductility, reducing the risk of brittle fracture under impact or thermal cycling.
Low P & S — Weldability & Cleanliness
Strict phosphorus and sulfur limits ensure weldability and minimize the risk of embrittlement or hot shortness, critical for reliable bolted joints in pressure systems.

Contact our technical team directly for project-specific guidance on ASTM A193 Grade B7 bolts selection and pricing.
ASTM A193 Grade B7 bolts are available to DIN 931 (partial thread), DIN 933 (full thread), ISO 898-1, and ASME B18.2.1 (inch hex and heavy hex). Stud bolts are supplied per ASME B16.5 for flange bolting. Custom thread forms (BSW, BSF, Whitworth) can be supplied on request.
Use a molybdenum-based anti-seize compound (such as Molykote 1000 or Loctite LB 8012) on threads and nut faces. For lubricated assembly, reduce torque by 20% compared to dry values. Avoid copper-based anti-seize in chloride environments to prevent corrosion.
Yes – ASTM A193 B7 bolts are rated for continuous service up to 450°C (842°F). For higher temperatures or where creep resistance is critical, consider ASTM A193 B16 or stainless steel grades. For subzero service, use ASTM A320 Grade L7.
No MOQ for standard sizes (M12-M36) in stock – single pieces can be supplied for urgent needs. Custom sizes or coatings may require a minimum batch of 10 kg. Price breaks are available at 50, 200, and 500 pieces.
