I was shopping at the local hardware store for replacement fasteners. As luck would have it, they had 6m x 1 flange bolts, I noticed the hardness rating is 10.9 vs. the stock 8.8. Is that enough to worry about? Using them on exhaust header and other high vibration/stress areas.

Wow is that what those numbers are printed on the bolt heads? lol
Wouldn't worry about it, seems marginal at best. You'd be suprised of the limits of these bolts

Wouldnt worry on small not structural applications., China's strongest bolts are everyone's elses weakest.

10.9 says proof load of 830MPa so for an M6 bolt that means it can withstand an axial tensile load of about 2 and a half tons!
thanks for the link Brent, amazing info!

+1 on that! This is why I love this site. Always learning something!
Bottom line- alloy bolts at the hardware store are good.
