17、 mechanical and performancecharacteristics.anchor boltsteel rod or bar, one end of which is intended tobe cast in concrete while the opposite end is threaded andprojects from the concrete for anchoring other material to theconcrete. The end cast in concrete may be either straight orprovided with an
18、anchor, such as a bent hook, forged head,or a tapped or welded attachment to resist forces imposed onthe anchor bolt as required.annealinggeneral term applied to a variety of thermaltreatments applied to fasteners for the purpose of softeningor homogenizing material properties. The specific types of
19、annealing are:full annealingheating steel above the upper critical transfor-mation temperature, holding it there long enough to fullytransform the steel to austenite, and then cooling it at acontrolled rate, in a furnace, to below a specified tempera-ture. A full anneal refines grain structure and p
20、rovides arelatively soft, ductile material that is free of internalstresses.intercritical annealing/isothermal annealingheating a steelabove the lower critical transformation temperature, butbelow the upper-critical transformation temperature, to dis-solve all the iron carbides, but not transform al
21、l the ferrite toaustenite. Cooling slowly from this temperature, through thelower critical temperature, produces a structure of ferrite andpearlite that is free of internal stresses. In intercriticalannealing, the steel continues to cool slowly in the furnace,similarly to full annealing. In isotherm
22、al annealing, coolingis stopped just below the lower critical, assuring completetransformation to ferrite and coarse pearlite, and eliminatingthe potential for bainite formation. The coarse pearlitestructure greatly improves machinability of medium carbonsteels.normalizingvariation of full annealing
23、 in which steel isheated above the upper critical temperature and is then aircooled in air, rather than in a furnace. Normalizing relievesthe internal stresses caused by previous working, and whileit produces sufficient softness and ductility for manypurposes, it leaves the steel harder and with a h
24、igher tensilestrength than full annealing. To remove cooling stresses,normalizing if often followed by tempering.process annealingsometimes called subcritical annealing orstress relieving, performed at temperatures just below thelower critical temperature. Process annealing neither refinesgrains nor
25、 redissolves cementite, but does improve theductility and decreases residual stress in work-hardenedsteel.solution annealingheating an austenitic stainless steel to atemperature that puts the carbides into solution. The steel isheld at this temperature long enough to achieve graingrowth. It is then
26、quenched in a medium for fast cooling,which prevents most of the carbides from reprecipitating.The process achieves optimum creep strength.spheroidize annealingtype of subcritical annealing used tosoften steel and improve machinability. Heat treating finepearlite for a long time just below the lower
27、 criticaltemperature of the steel, followed by a very slow cooling,produces a spheroidal or globular form of the pearlite.stabilization annealingheating an austenitic stainless steelused in severe aqueous corrosion environments by firstsolution annealing and then reheating to about 1600F, andholding
28、 at that temperature. The treatment causes grainboundary precipitation of carbides, but also the hold timepermits the chromium remaining in the austenite solution toredistribute within the grains, restoring corrosion resistance,even adjacent to the grain boundaries.applicable standardsthose having t

30、 a combination ofdifferent products. As long as the products that make up theassembly are in accordance with lot, the quantity of assem-blies determine the sample size. Example: ten assembliesconsisting of a bolt, nut, and a washer would have a lot sizeof ten if the bolts, nuts, and washers meet the
31、 criteria of lot.However, if any of the components in the assembly are notin accordance with lot then the ten assemblies will have to beseparated into lots that meet all the requirements of lot.austenitic stainless alloyssteel alloys that contain a mini-mum of 15 % chromium and from a residual to 20
32、 % nickel.Some alloys may contain as much as 18 % manganese. Themetal is predominantly face centered cubic in structure andhardenable only by cold working. Essentially nonmagneticin its wire form, it may become slightly magnetic from coldworking.Austenitic stainless steels can be grouped into threec
