Product Overview
ASTM A325 studs are high-strength, heavy hex structural fasteners manufactured from medium carbon steel, quenched and tempered to achieve a minimum tensile strength of 830 MPa (120 ksi). These studs are designed for critical bolted connections in steel structures, bridges, and buildings, where high preload and shear strength are essential. ASTM A325 covers both fully threaded and double-end stud configurations, typically supplied with heavy hex nuts and washers for optimal load distribution.
Available in Type 1 (carbon steel), Type 2 (withdrawn), and Type 3 (weathering steel), ASTM A325 studs are specified for slip-critical and bearing-type connections in accordance with AISC and RCSC guidelines. All fasteners are supplied with mechanical and chemical test certification per ASTM and EN 10204 3.1 standards.
