Brophy Clevis Pin for 2" Clevis Mount # CP20 doesn't have a grade like 5 or 8 like a bolt would. It is rated differently. I asked my contact at Brophy and he said it is "1" Cold Rolled Round bar 1018 material."

According to some metal-working resources "1018 cold rolled steel is a low carbon steel with good case hardening qualities. It has higher manganese content than other low carbon grades, such as 1020."
