ASTM F593

This specification for ASTM F593 covers the requirements for stainless steel bolts, hex cap screws, and studs 0.25 to 1.50 in., inclusive, in nominal diameter in a number of alloys in common use and intended for service applications requiring general corrosion resistance. Atlanta Rod can work with a number of other less common grades of ASTM F593, but they are not detailed in the description below. You can find more detailed information on the ASTM F593 specifications at http://www.astm.org/.
