Astm A574

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what
changes have been made to the previous version. Because

it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: A574 12 A574 13
Standard Specification for
Alloy Steel Socket-Head Cap Screws1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation A574; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for quenched and tempered alloy steel hexagon socket-head cap screws, 0.060
through 4 in. in diameter where high strength is required.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this
standard.
NOTE 1A complete metric companion to Specification A574 has been developedA574M; therefore no metric equivalents are presented in this
specification.
1.3 The following hazard caveat pertains only to the test method portions, sections 5.1, 5.6, 8, and 12, of this specification. This
standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user
of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior
to use.

5. Materials and Manufacture
5.1 The screws shall be fabricated from alloy steel made to a fine grain practice. In the event of controversy over grain size,
referee tests on finished screws conducted in accordance with Test Methods E112 shall prevail.
5.2 Screws in sizes through 0.750 in. diameter, and with lengths through ten times the nominal product size or 6.0 inches,
whichever is shorter, shall be cold headed, except that when specified by the purchaser the screws shall be hot headed. Larger sizes
and longer lengths shall be cold or hot headed at the option of the manufacturer, unless otherwise specified by the purchaser.
Screws larger than 1.500 in. nominal diameter shall be permitted to be machined. Sockets shall be forged or machined at the option
of the manufacturer.
5.3 Screws in sizes through 0.625 in. diameter, and for product lengths through 4 in. shall be roll threaded, unless otherwise
specified by the purchaser. Larger products shall be rolled, cut, or ground at the option of the manufacturer.
5.4 Screws shall be heat treated by quenching in oil from above the transformation temperature and then tempered by reheating
to at least 700F to achieve the mechanical properties specified in Section 7 and Table 1.
5.4.1 When specified by the purchaser, the minimum tempering temperature shall be verified by subjecting screws to 680F for
30 minutes at temperature. The mean cross section hardness of three readings on the screw before and after retempering shall not
differ by more than 2 points hardness Rockwell C (HRC).
5.5 Standard FinishesUnless otherwise specified, the screws shall be furnished with one of the following standard surfaces
as manufactured at the option of the manufacturer: (1) bright uncoated, (2) thermal black oxide, or (3) chemical black oxide.
Hydrogen embrittlement tests shall not be required for screws furnished in these conditions.
5.6 Protective Coatings:
5.6.1 When a protective finish other than as specified in 5.5 is required, it shall be specified on the purchase order with the
applicable finish specification.
5.6.2 When protective or decorative coatings are applied to the screws, precautions specified by the coating requirements to
minimize internal hydrogen embrittlement shall be exercised. Additional precautions such as the requirements in Test Method
F1940 and Test Methods F606 shall be by agreement with the purchaser.

6. Chemical Composition
6.1 The screws shall be alloy steel conforming to the chemical composition specified in Table 2 and the requirements in
Specification F2282. See Supplementary Requirement S1 when additional alloy steel grades are required.
6.2 One or more of the following alloying elements: chromium, nickel, molybdenum, or vanadium shall be present in sufficient
quantity to ensure that the specified strength properties are met after oil quenching and tempering. As a guide for selecting material,
an alloy steel should be capable of meeting the specified mechanical requirements if the as oil quenched core hardness one
diameter from the point is equal to or exceeds 25 HRC + (55 carbon content).
6.3 When product analyses are made by the purchaser from finished screws representing each lot, the chemical composition,
thus determined, shall conform to the requirements prescribed for product analysis in Table 2.
6.4 Steel to which bismuth, selenium, tellurium, or lead has been intentionally added shall not be permitted.
6.5 Chemical analyses shall be performed in accordance with Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A751.
7. Mechanical Properties
7.1 Socket head cap screws shall be tested in accordance with the mechanical testing requirements specified in Table 3, and shall
meet the mechanical requirements in Table 1, and either Table 4 or Table 5.
7.2 The screws that are tested for wedge tensile strength shall utilize a wedge of the angle specified in Table 6 under the head.
To meet the requirements of the wedge test, there must be a tensile failure in the body or thread section. For the purpose of this
test, failure means separation into two pieces. Screws threaded to the head shall pass the requirements for this test if the fracture
that caused failure originated in the thread area, even though it may have propagated into the fillet area or the head before
separation.

8. Metallurgical Requirement
8.1 Carburization or Decarburization :
8.1.1 There shall be no evidence of carburization or total decarburization on the surfaces of the heat-treated screws when
measured in accordance with Test Method F2328 (Class 3 Product).
8.1.2 The depth of partial decarburization shall be limited to the values in Test Method F2328 (Class 3 Product) when measured
as described therein.
9. Dimensions
9.1 Unless otherwise specified, the product shall conform to the requirements of ASME B18.3.
10. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance
10.1 Surface DiscontinuitiesThe surface discontinuities for these products shall conform to Specification F788/F788M and
the additional limitations specified herein.
10.2 Forging Cracks:
10.2.1 Forging cracks that connect the socket to the periphery of the head as shown in Fig. 1 are not permissible.
10.2.2 Forging cracks originating on the periphery of the head and with a traverse indicating a potential to intersect on the top
of the socket head as shown in Fig. 1 are not permissible.
10.2.3 Other forging cracks are permissible provided those that are located in the bearing area, fillet, and top surfaces do not
have a depth exceeding 0.03D or 0.005 in., whichever is greater. For peripheral discontinuities, the maximum depth shall be 0.06D
or 0.064 in., whichever is greater (see Fig. 1).
10.2.4 Forging cracks located in the socket wall within 0.1 times the actual key engagement (T) from the bottom of the socket
are not permissible. Discontinuities located elsewhere in the socket shall not have a length exceeding 0.25T, or a maximum depth
of 0.03D or 0.005 in., whichever is greater (see Fig. 2).
