Inquiry:
(a) May age-hardened nickel-copper-aluminum alloy
conforming with SB-164 (except that composition and
mechanical properties are as shown in Tables 1 and
2), which is capable of being age hardened at 1100F
be employed for bolting material for Code application?
(b) What are the design stresses for bolting?
Reply:
(a) It is the opinion of the Committee that agehardened nickel-copper-aluminum alloy as described in
the Inquiry may be employed for bolting applications.
