Specifying Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw — GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 (Series 034) in A2 Stainless Steel pairs the dimensional form of Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw — GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 (Series 034) (GB/T 818 / ISO 7045) with the engineering properties of A2 Stainless Steel. This page explains when to choose the grade, how it behaves in service, and which grades to compare it against.
Why Choose A2 Stainless Steel for Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw — GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 (Series 034)
The most common stainless grade for indoor and general outdoor fasteners. For phillips pan head machine screw — gb/t 818 / iso 7045 (series 034), this matters when good general corrosion resistance is the primary requirement.
Mechanical & Physical Properties
| Grade designation | A2-70 (304) |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Largely non-magnetic |
| Service temperature | approx. -200 °C to +400 °C |
| Corrosion characteristic | Good general corrosion resistance |
Galvanic & Galling Considerations
Two important notes for stainless phillips pan head machine screw — gb/t 818 / iso 7045 (series 034): (1) stainless can gall on stainless threads under load — use a thread lubricant or anti-galling compound, especially for M6 and below; (2) when joined to aluminum or galvanized steel, stainless can drive galvanic corrosion of the less-noble metal in wet service — isolate with a coating or sleeve where appropriate.
Comparable Grades
For Phillips Pan Head Machine Screw — GB/T 818 / ISO 7045 (Series 034), the alternative stainless grade is A4 (316). A2 (304) suits general indoor and outdoor service; A4 (316) adds molybdenum for marine and chloride environments. Where higher strength matters more than corrosion, switch to plated alloy-steel class 8.8 or 10.9.
