Apparently the same goes for Bolts.
In the local Industrial Hardware store I listened to the Owner of some large Earth Moving Equipment telling the Store Owner that although the Asian Made Bolts (He was speaking of some Large ones Line 2 inch diameter and above) had the same grade marks as the US or Euro made ones; in use the Asian ones broke within a Year or so and the quality ones either did not break of lasted 5+ years.
Also it is not just the Steel they are made from. The heat treating is also an issue.
