To the list,
I have a question that may be overly simple for many of you, but I do not
know the answer and I am curious. I am working on a project that involves a
place that I will keep my TR6 eventually (the LBC content) and I have a
question
about bolt grades. The question very simply is this, if grade 8 bolts are
used with a lower grade nut does the whole assembly become a grade 2 or 5 or
whatever application based on the strength of the nut. In my particular case,
I
am more concerned about shearing force that I am stretching force if that makes
sense and I was just curious about how these ratings work. I am on the
digest mode and if anyone can give me a simple answer, just reply off list.
Thanks in advance.
