Product Overview
ASTM A325 threaded rods are high-strength, medium carbon steel fasteners designed for structural bolting applications. Manufactured from quenched and tempered steel, these rods conform to the ASTM A325 specification, ensuring minimum mechanical properties suitable for critical load-bearing connections in steel structures. They are commonly supplied with coarse (UNC) threads and are available in plain, hot-dip galvanized, or mechanically galvanized finishes for enhanced corrosion resistance.
ASTM A325 threaded rods are widely specified for use in steel building frames, bridge construction, and heavy equipment anchoring, where high tensile and yield strength are essential. Their compatibility with A325 heavy hex nuts and structural washers ensures reliable, code-compliant assemblies for demanding environments.
