ASTM A449 covers headed bolts, rods, and anchor bolts from 1/4" to 3" in diameter made of medium carbon or alloy steel. It develops strength through heat treating and is intended for general engineering applications. A449 has similar chemistry and strength as A325 and J429 grade 5 bolts but covers a larger diameter range. A449 includes plain carbon steel, carbon boron steel, alloy steel, or alloy boron steel bolts (type 1) and weathering steel bolts (type 3). It specifies minimum tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and reduction of area requirements that vary based on bolt size. It also outlines chemical composition limits for carbon, manganese, phosphorus,

ASTM A449 covers
headed bolts, rods, and anchor bolts in diameters ranging from 1/4″ through
3″ inclusive. It is a medium strength bolt manufactured from a medium carbon or alloy steel that develops its mechanical values through a heat treating process. It is intended for general engineering applications.
ASTM A449 is virtually identical in chemistry and strength to ASTM A325 and SAE J429 grade 5. However, A449 is more flexible in the sense that it covers a larger diameter range and is not restricted by a specific configuration.
A449 Types TYPE 1 Plain carbon steel, carbon boron steel, alloy steel, or alloy boron steel. TYPE 2 Withdrawn 2003 TYPE 3 Weathering steel.
