Most of the high-strength bolts for wind power are grade 10.9, and a few are grade 8.8. For 10.9 grade high-strength bolts, the tensile strength should be 1250MPa≥ Rm≥1030MPa, the elongation should be A≥9%, the reduction of area should be Z≥48%, and the low temperature impact Energy (-45℃):KV2≥27J.
What makes the fasteners lose?
- Selection of bolt raw materials.
- Defects in the manufacturing process, resulting in easy breakage at the bottom of the thread during the test;
- The processing procedure is inverted (rolling thread before heat treatment), resulting in insufficient thread pressure and pre-tightening force;
- The unreasonable control of heat treatment temperature and time leads to insufficient metallographic structure and affects the final performance of the product.

As an Alloy Steel, 42CrMo4 is a commonly used raw material of high-strength bolts, especially for grade 10.9 and 8.8, the alloy steel should be Quenched and Tempered.
We keep a daily inventory of 42CrMo4 for over 1000 tons. Feel free to contact me:
