Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG):

Hot-dip galvanization is a form of galvanization. It is the process of coating iron and steel with zinc, which alloys with the surface of the base metal when immersing the metal in a bath of molten zinc at a temperature of around 450 °C (842 °F). 

The stud bolt must comply with ASTM A320 L7M for material and mechanical properties.

The galvanizing process must meet ASTM A153 or ASTM F2329 standards for hot-dip galvanizing.

ASTM A320 L7M stud bolt with hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) is a specialized fastener designed for low-temperature environments with added corrosion protection

chemical composition range for Grade L7M bolts:

Element Percentage (%)
Carbon (C) 0.37 max
Manganese (Mn) 0.65–1.10
Phosphorus (P) 0.035 max
Sulfur (S) 0.040 max
Silicon (Si) 0.15–0.35
Chromium (Cr) 0.75–1.20
Molybdenum (Mo) 0.15–0.25
Vanadium (V) 0.03 max

Mechanical Properties:

  • Tensile Strength: Minimum 105 ksi (724 MPa).
  • Yield Strength: Minimum 75 ksi (517 MPa).
  • Elongation: Minimum 20% (measured on a standard 2-inch gauge length).
  • Reduction of Area: Minimum 50%.
  • Charpy Impact Test:
    • Ensures performance at low temperatures, typically down to -150°F (-101°C).

Heat Treatment:

  • ASTM A320 L7M stud bolt Bolts must be quenched and tempered to achieve the required mechanical properties and toughness.

Surface Treatment

  • Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG) is often applied for enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
