Fullreversal 09-30-2001, 12:42 PM In which use is a, say grade 8 bolt, stronger? A: Forces in opposite direction along the axis of the bolt (Pulling apart) B: Forces in opposite directions perpendicular to the bolt (shearing) BRUISER-42 09-30-2001, 01:02 PM Grade 8 bolts are stronger during a pull, and are more brittle on shear, compared to a lower grade that is softer. However, if you use a really low grade bolt it would breakunder a similer shear load. What the scenerio? <IMG SRC="smilies/jeep2.gif" border="0"> BillaVista 09-30-2001, 02:41 PM Grade 8 bolts are stronger during a pull, and are more brittle on shear, compared to a lower grade that is softer Wrong wrong wrong. I'm sick and tired of correcting this misconception...do a search. To answer the question. ALL bolts are stronger in tension, than in shear. Nominally, shear strength is usualy somewhere about 60" of UTS (ultimate tensile strength) Fullreversal 09-30-2001, 05:57 PM thanks BV BRUISER-42 09-30-2001, 07:01 PM So explain to me what is wrong, wrong , wrong! Or do you just stu-stu-studder.
