<h1>FIELD MANUAL: SAE J429 GRADE 8</h1>
<p><strong>CLASSIFICATION:</strong> HIGH-STRENGTH BOLTING // QUARTER-TURN MARK</p>
<p><strong>JURISDICTION:</strong> STRUCTURAL TRUSS ASSEMBLIES, HEAT-SINK MOUNTS, PRESSURE VESSELS</p>
<section class="procedure-step">
<h3>PHASE 1: MATERIAL VERIFICATION</h3>
<p>Before assembly, verify the six radial dashes on the bolt head indicating Grade 8 alloy. Any deviation indicates lower-grade substitution. Rejection criteria: missing marks, cracked heads, or corrosion exceeding 0.05mm.</p>

<h2>MECHANICAL PROPERTIES</h2>
<p>Values derived from ASTM F3125 and SAE J429 standards. These are non-negotiable boundaries.</p>

<h3>PHASE 2: SURFACE PREPARATION</h3>
<p>1. Remove all burrs from threads using a wire brush (Type II).<br>
2. Apply anti-seize compound (Nickel-chromium based) to threads only. Excess on bearing surface increases friction error by >15%.<br>
3. Verify washer seating surface is perpendicular to bolt axis within 0.5 degrees.</p>

<section>
<h2>FAILURE MODES</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>THREAD STRIPPING:</strong> Occurs when torque exceeds 110% of spec. Prevention: Use torque-limiting driver.</li>
<li><strong>DUCTILE SHEAR:</strong> Bolt necks down before breaking. Indicates correct material properties.</li>
<li><strong>BRITTLE FRACTURE:</strong> Clean snap at thread root. Indicates hydrogen embrittlement or improper heat treatment.</li>
</ul>
