Product Overview
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.
