One of the advantage of using higher grade bolt is to get higher clamping force and higher compression between the joint members giving a higher factor of safety against joint separation.
Does the higher grade bolts with higher torques also helps in vibration loading only, in the absence of other loads (tensile or shear) on the joint as compared to using low grade bolts.
What other potential benefits of using higher grade bolts are, and not using the lower grade bolts.
Thank you very much for your response and valuable comments.
