Product Overview

What are ASTM A193 Grade B7 Threaded Rods?

ASTM A193 Grade B7 threaded rods are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured from quenched and tempered chromium-molybdenum steel, typically conforming to AISI 4140/4142. These rods are designed for bolting pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings for high-temperature and high-pressure service. B7 threaded rods are widely specified in petrochemical, power generation, and process industries due to their excellent mechanical properties and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement.

With a minimum tensile strength of 860 MPa (125 ksi) and hardness limited to 35 HRC, ASTM A193 B7 threaded rods are suitable for use up to 450°C (840°F). They are supplied with full-length threads or custom thread lengths, and are available in both metric and inch sizes, meeting the requirements of ASME, DIN, and ISO standards for critical bolted connections.

Material Chemistry

ASTM A193 Grade B7 Chemical Composition

ASTM A193 Grade B7 Threaded Rods 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 Threaded Rods

Cr-Mo Alloy — High Strength & Toughness
Chromium and molybdenum additions provide ASTM A193 Grade B7 threaded rods with superior tensile strength and toughness, making them ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature bolted joints in refineries and power plants.
Controlled Carbon — Quench & Temper Response
The carbon content is optimized for hardenability and strength after quenching and tempering, ensuring consistent mechanical properties throughout the rod length.
Low P & S — Prevents Embrittlement
Strict limits on phosphorus and sulfur minimize the risk of embrittlement and ensure reliable performance in cyclic loading and pressure applications.

Contact our technical team directly for project-specific guidance on ASTM A193 Grade B7 threaded rods selection and pricing.
ASTM A193 Grade B7 threaded rods are available with ISO metric threads (DIN 976-1), UNC/UNF threads (ASME B18.31.3), and custom thread forms such as BSW or BSF on request. Both right-hand and left-hand threads can be supplied. Full-length and double-end threaded rods are available for flange and structural applications.
Use a high-quality molybdenum-based or nickel-based anti-seize compound (such as Molykote 1000 or Jet-Lube 550) on threads and nut faces to prevent galling and facilitate disassembly. Avoid copper-based anti-seize in high-temperature or corrosive environments. Lubricated torque values should be reduced by 20% compared to dry assembly.
Yes, ASTM A193 Grade B7 threaded rods are rated for continuous service up to 450°C (840°F). For higher temperatures or low-temperature service, consider ASTM A193 B16 or ASTM A320 L7 grades. Always verify application requirements and consult with engineering for critical bolted joints.
Standard sizes (M12-M36, ½”-1½”) are available ex-stock with no formal MOQ – single rods can be supplied for urgent needs. Custom diameters or cut-to-length rods may require a minimum order of 10 kg or 10 pieces. Bulk discounts apply at 50, 200, and 500 pieces.
