Technical requirements and scope of ASTM F468
This specification establishes rigorous engineering requirements for industrial fasteners: bolts, studs, and hex cap screws manufactured by plastic deformation from non-ferrous metals. The standard covers products with a nominal thread diameter from M6 to M36 inclusive. Products supplied by EV Group China fully comply with these standards, ensuring high reliability of assemblies under high-load conditions.
Engineers should note that for the assembly of fasteners manufactured according to the ASTM F468 standard, it is necessary to use nuts that comply with the ASTM F467 specification. The primary requirement when selecting a bolt-nut pair is that the products belong to the same alloy group. Furthermore, the yield strength of the nut must be equal to or exceed the corresponding value of the bolt, screw, or stud to ensure the integrity of the threaded connection.
To view the alloy grades used in the production of fasteners according to the F468 standard, please refer to the technical tables from EV Group China.
