A194 7M Nuts and Washers

A194 Grade 7M nuts at a hardness not exceeding 235 HBW (or equivalent) shall be used with Grade L7M bolts, studs, and stud bolts. All nut impact tests shall be made on test specimens taken from the bar or plate from the heat of steel used for manufacturing the nuts, and heat treated with the nut blanks.

A320 L7M Stud bolt heat Treatment

For L7M bolting, the final heat treatment, which may be the tempering or stress-relieving operation conducted at 1150 °F [620 °C] minimum, shall be done after machining or rolling of the threads and any type of cutting

A320 L7M Stud bolt Hardness requirement

The maximum hardness of Grade L7M shall be 235 HBW or 99 HRB (conversion in accordance with Table Number 2B of Test Methods and Definitions A370). Minimum hardness shall not be less than 200 HBW or 93 HRB. Conformance to this hardness shall be ensured by testing each bolt or stud by Brinell or Rockwell B methods in accordance with 6.3.1

A320 L7M Product Marking

In addition to the requirements of Specification A962/ A962M,

Grade L7M shall be 100 % evaluated in conformance with this specification and shall have a line under the grade symbol.

Nuts from materials that have been impact tested shall be marked with the letter “L.”
