    ASTM A453 Grade 660 Class C Specification

    ASTM A453 Grade 660 Class C specification provides a yield strength viz. 85 ksi [585 MPa] respectively for use in high temperature service for bolting components such as Stud bolts, screws, nuts, hex bolts & various other fasteners for pressure vessel and valve flanges. A453 Grade 660 Class C is oil quenched and double age hardened to achieve superior grain structure as compared to Class A,B & D . ASTM A453 Grade 660 Class C is produced in various other forms like wire rods, round bars, shafts, castings, forgings, threaded bars, threaded rods, wires, tubings, sheets, plates, welding rods, hex bars, Rivets & Springs. A453 Gr. 660 Cl. C Fasteners are stress rupture tested for 100 Hours at 650°C in finished condition. ASTM A453 Grade 660 Class C Bolting can be certified under nace provided the hardness is controlled and not over 35HRC.

    • (A) The combination bar specimen shown in Fig. 1 shall be tested continuously at the temperature and at the minimum stress specified or at a greater stress and shall rupture in a time not less than that specified.
    • (A) When it is necessary to heat treat or heat treat and pickle after cold finishing, because of special hardness or mechanical property requirements, the permissible variations are generally double those shown in the table.
    • (B) For size tolerances of sizes over 4 in. [100 mm], the manufacturer should be consulted.
