ASTM A449

ASTM A449 covers headed bolts, rods, and anchor bolts in diameters ranging from 1/4″ through 3″ inclusive. It is a medium strength bolt manufactured from a medium carbon or alloy steel that develops its mechanical values through a heat treating process. It is intended for general engineering applications.

ASTM A449 is virtually identical in chemistry and strength to ASTM A325 and SAE J429 grade 5. However, A449 is more flexible in the sense that it covers a larger diameter range and is not restricted by a specific configuration.

A449 Types

TYPE 1	Plain carbon steel, carbon boron steel, alloy steel, or alloy boron steel.
TYPE 2	Withdrawn 2003
TYPE 3	Weathering steel.
