Product Overview
ASTM A325 screws are high-strength, heavy hex structural fasteners manufactured from medium carbon steel, quenched and tempered to achieve superior mechanical properties. Designed specifically for structural steel connections, these screws conform to ASTM A325, which governs their chemical composition, mechanical strength, and dimensional tolerances. ASTM A325 screws are widely used in steel building frames, bridges, and other critical load-bearing assemblies where high shear and tensile strength are essential.
Available in both Type 1 (carbon steel) and Type 3 (weathering steel), ASTM A325 screws are supplied with a heavy hex head and are typically paired with ASTM A563 nuts and F436 hardened washers for optimal joint integrity. Their robust design and strict quality standards make them the preferred choice for bolted structural connections in construction and infrastructure projects worldwide.
