Hardness-controlled alloy-steel flange bolting
ASTM A193 B7M Stud Bolts with A194 2HM Nuts
ASTM A193 Grade B7M fully threaded stud bolts with matching ASTM A194 Grade 2HM heavy hex nuts, supplied with the required heat treatment, hardness verification and traceability.
Hızlı cevap
ASTM A193 B7M stud bolts are chromium-molybdenum alloy-steel bolting with grade-specific heat-treatment and hardness-control requirements. They are often selected for project-defined sour or controlled-hardness service, but compliance with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 is a separate engineering and purchasing requirement.
Product at a glance
Nedir? ASTM A193 B7M stud bolts?
B7M is a distinct ASTM A193 bolting grade, not a surface-finish variation of B7. Its manufacture requires control of heat treatment, mechanical properties and hardness in accordance with the ordered ASTM edition. When supplied as a set, the stud bolts are commonly paired with ASTM A194 Grade 2HM heavy hex nuts.
B7M is frequently referenced in sour-service material specifications because hardness can influence susceptibility to environmental cracking. Fakat, the grade designation alone does not prove suitability for a particular H2S environment. The equipment owner or designer must specify the applicable NACE or ISO requirements, environmental limits and documentation.

Why specify this grade?
Select B7M when the project bolting specification requires the B7M grade and its controlled-hardness production route. It is commonly paired with 2HM nuts for flange joints where materials, hardness and traceability are tightly controlled.
Critical engineering note
B7M is not created by coating B7. Kesme, threading, ısıl işlem, hardness testing, plating and rework must follow the ordered specification. A statement of NACE compliance also requires the exact standard edition, service environment and purchaser requirements.

Sık sorulan sorular
What is the difference between B7 and B7M stud bolts?
B7M is a separate ASTM A193 grade with additional hardness-control and processing requirements. B7 and B7M should not be substituted without engineering and purchaser approval.
Do B7M stud bolts automatically comply with NACE MR0175?
HAYIR. B7M is often used in controlled-hardness specifications, but NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 compliance depends on the stated edition, hizmet ortamı, material condition and project requirements.
Which nuts are used with B7M studs?
ASTM A194 Grade 2HM heavy hex nuts are commonly specified. Confirm nut dimensions, sona ermek, sertlik, testing and quantity in the purchase order.
Can B7M stud bolts be PTFE coated?
A fluoropolymer coating may be supplied when approved, but the coating process, temperature limit, kalınlık, friction behaviour and project sour-service restrictions must be reviewed before manufacture.

Reference standards
Material requirements are controlled by ASTM A193/A193M. Matching heavy hex nut requirements are specified separately under ASTM A194/A194M uygulanabilir olduğunda. Thread form and stud dimensions may reference ASME B1.1 Ve ASME B18.31.2, subject to the purchase order. Always state the required edition instead of assuming the latest edition applies to an existing project.
