Standards & threads
Finished boltASTM F468 — inch / ASTM F468M — metricAlloy 500 · N05500 · select the unit-specific specification
Specify finished aging condition and tensile / hardness evidence; verify processing and marking for the selected edition. F468M scope is M6–M36; this is a standard boundary, not a stock range.
The material is commonly called K-500; the finished-fastener grade table uses Alloy 500 / N05500. B865 stock alone does not establish F468 compliance.
Raw material specificationASTM B865UNS N05500

Specify aged or unaged stock and the required final aging condition. Confirm size-dependent acceptance.
Dimensions · metricISO 4014 / ISO 4017Coarse pitch · partial-thread bolts / full-thread hex screws
Dimensions · inchASME B18.2.1Inch hex bolts / hex cap screws
Select the bolt or cap-screw pattern, head dimensions and thread length. Hex and heavy hex are different choices.
Threads · metricISO 261 / ISO 965-1Metric M · pitch plan and tolerance system
Threads · UNC / UNFASME B1.1Unified inch · coarse / fine series
State diameter, TPI, series and external class: e.g. 1/2-13 UNC-2A or 1/2-20 UNF-2A. Select 2A / 3A with the mating-thread fit; UNC and UNF do not mate.

Technical help
Why does the fastener table say Alloy 500 rather than K-500?
The reviewed F468/F468M tables identify Alloy 500 as UNS N05500, the material commonly called K-500. Use the UNS together with the commercial grade name and the required finished condition to keep the order unambiguous.
Is aged B865 stock sufficient evidence for a K-500 bolt?
It provides stock-condition evidence. Specify the final aging condition and the required finished-fastener tensile and hardness results under the selected route. Keep the processing and lot records connected through completion of the bolt.
