State of Confusion
I am looking for Grade 8 sex bolts in a 1/2" to 5/8" diameter barrel with a grip range of 3" to 3-1/4".

Prefer to find a tapered seat style for a flush mount.

I can find them in 18-8 Stainless, but I would really like to have Grade 8.

Anyone know any sources for such fastener?

You might try your local bolt supplier and ask for A490 specs. Don't settle for A325.

Wait, tapered seat? You mean flat head? I know of no such thing.

Grainger online, then select store to see if in stock. McMaster has almost any kind of fasteners too.

Not sure you can find stainless in grade eight, or sex bolts in grade eight for that matter.

These are what I can find in stainless steel.

However I would like to get them in just standard grade 8 steel.

These what you're after? When it comes to grading bolts not all types are graded in the conventional numeric way. Particularly when you're dealing with socket heads.

Nope - you can't. I don't think you can harden stainless, even though it's already hard. No way stainless is grade 8. When you need grade 8, you need grade 8!

But please no pictures. I don't want to see what any one on here does with sex bolts.

Nope - you can't. I don't think you can harden stainless, even though it's already hard. No way stainless is grade 8. When you need grade 8, you need grade 8!

17-4 Stainless is available and very comparable strength wise to typical grade 8, and far superior to typical grade 2 stainless fasteners.

Physical Properties:
Melting Point: 2560 - 2625°F (1404 – 1440°C)
Density: 0.282 lbs/in3 / 7.8 g/cm3
Modulus of Elasticity in Tension: 28.5 X 106 psi / 197 GPa
Mechanical Properties:
Condition: Solution Treated (A)
Tensile Strength Minimum (psi): 160,000
Yield Strength Minimum 0.2% offset (psi): 145,000
% Elongation in 2” Typical: 5%
Hardness: Rockwell B85
Condition: Hardened + Aged (TH1050)
Tensile Strength Typical (psi): 200,000
Yield Strength Typical 2% offset (psi): 185,000
% Elongation in 2": 8%
Hardness: Rockwell C35
Condition: Aged (H1075)
Tensile Strength Typical (psi): 175,000
Yield Strength Typical 2% offset (psi): 165,000
% Elongation in 2": 8%
Hardness: Rockwell C37
Condition: Aged (H900)
Tensile Strength Typical (psi): 210,000
Yield Strength Typical 2% offset (psi): 200,000
% Elongation in 2": 7%
Hardness: Rockwell C45




For reference sake, its likely double the cost of typical SS.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

And let’s not forget “mating screws”. Apparently there is a language of love that I never learned.

Irrelevant if no one makes sex bolts in 17-4 stainless.
