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TYPE 2 Withdrawn 2003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.

  • ASTM A449 Hex Cap Screws Related Video:



    Alex, an immigrant from Ukraine comes to Canada and becomes involved with an online criminal organization called Darkweb. He learns to rip off credit cards, ATMs, break into banks and eventually the stock market. He engages a network of service staff to help collect information, and partners with a guy named Sye, and a girl named Kira, to help sell the online-bought merchandise. What starts off as a way to help his parents financially, soon becomes a personal vendetta against the entire banking system, when his mother is fired from her job at the bank.



    We show you how to galvanize metal objects to protect them rust.

    First we get 30g of zinc sulfate and dissolve it into 100mL of water.

    Zinc sulfate was made back in our video on making a copper sulfate and
    zinc battery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id3tL2iI0Vw

    Then connect the item you want to galvanize to the negative terminal of a 5 volt power supply. Connect the positive terminal to a strip of zinc metal.

    Zinc metal was obtained from our video on getting useful materials from batteries: https://www.youtube.com/watch#%21v=knc1lSupAwQ

    Immerse both electrodes into the zinc sulfate solution and keep them from touching. Then turn on the current and run it for about one minute to give the metal a zinc coating.

    Remove the object and now it’s galvanized.

    To test the rust protection, place it on top of a paper towel soaked in saltwater. You should also place an unprotected item next to it for a good comparison. Cover the towel to prevent evaporation and wait a day or two.

    The treated object should remain rust-free, perhaps developing a white crusty coating. The untreated object should start to rust.
