High-temperature bolting
High-temperature bolting is a service category selected for retaining material properties and joint preload at the design temperature. The general product name establishes neither one standard, grade, alloy, nor temperature limit. The actual material specification, heat treatment, required creep or relaxation behaviour, matching nut and assembly, coating, and tightening method must be defined for the project.
