Grade 12.9 Bolt can come in quenched and tempered condition. The material is a high tensile material and there are different types of bolts in this grade of material. The hex socket head cap bolt, hex screws, socket cap screws and others are used in specific application circumstances. The Grade 12.9 Hex Bolts are used in high strength applications for the ease of installation with tools..
The applications that require high torque forces to drive the bolts use the Grade 12.9 Hex Head Bolts. The grade is DIN 933 and there are ASTM F568 and ASME SF568 standards that govern the dimensions of these bolts. The diameter of the bolts can range from 1.6mm to 100mm or from ¾ inches to 3 ½ inches. The High Tensile 12.9 Metric Hex Bolts are measured in metric scale. There are different coating types available for the fasteners as well. The plain, zinc plated and hot dip galvanized finishes are the most commonly used types. The 12.9 Grade Threaded Rod is a special type that has no head but a rod with thread.
This type of fastener is useful in narrow spaces and in connecting components both ways. The thread types vary as coarse and fine threads as well. The High Tensile Grade 12.9 Fasteners have up to 1200MPa minimum tensile strength, 1100MPa minimum yield strength and up to 970MPa minimum proof load strength. The applications include machineries, tools, equipment and parts in petroleum, oil and gas, construction and in general engineering and structural applications.

| Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Bolt Grade | Grade 12.9 (high-strength alloy steel) |
| Tensile Strength | 1200 MPa (maximum stress before failure) |
| Diameter Influence | Increasing diameter increases tensile strength |
| Formula | F tensile = σ tensile × A |
| Area Calculation | A = π × ( 2 d ) 2 |
| Relationship | Tensile strength increases proportional to the square of the diameter |
| Impact | Doubling diameter increases tensile strength by four times |
