Scope

SAE J429 is the standard specification for inch-series steel bolts,

screws, studs, SEMS screws and U-bolts in sizes up to and including
1-1/2 inches. They are generally manufactured from variants of
medium carbon steel. SAE J429 bolts from Glaser and Associates are
available in three grades, 2, 5 and 8, offering different mechanical and
chemical properties for specific applications.

These bolts are designed, manufactured and tested to comply with the
standards set by SAE J429 for proof load, yield strength, tensile
strength, elongation, surface roughness and core hardness.

Grades

Grade 2 bolts manufactured from low or medium carbon steel.

Grade 5 bolts manufactured from medium carbon steel.
Grade 8 bolts manufactured from medium carbon alloy steel.

The properties tables below provide more information on the

differences between the grades.
Applications

SAE J429 bolts from Glaser and Associates meet the mechanical and
material requirements for fasteners used in the automotive and related
industries. For applications that require specific levels of fatigue
behavior, corrosion resistance or impact properties, please consult our
technical department.
