Material page for five-lobe bottom service screws for mobile devices in A4 Stainless Steel (ISO 3506 group A4 (316 / 1.4401), commonly supplied A4-80). The sizes below are the ones we supply; there is no published dimensional standard for this article, so the table rather than a standard number is what to quote. Corrosion behaviour is superior, including marine and chloride environments and the service range is approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint.
Why Choose A4 Stainless Steel for Five-Lobe Bottom Service Screws for Mobile Devices
Specified for marine, coastal and chemical applications. For five-lobe bottom service screws for mobile devices, this matters when superior, including marine and chloride environments is the primary requirement.
Mechanical & Physical Properties
| Grade designation | ISO 3506 group A4 (316 / 1.4401), commonly supplied A4-80 |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Largely non-magnetic |
| Service temperature | approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint |
| Corrosion characteristic | Superior, including marine and chloride environments |
Corrosion Behavior in Service
A4 (316) adds 2–3% molybdenum to the A2 (304) composition, which dramatically improves resistance to chloride-pitting corrosion. For Five-Lobe Bottom Service Screws for Mobile Devices in marine, coastal, swimming-pool or food-processing environments, A4 is the default selection.
Comparable Grades
For Five-Lobe Bottom Service Screws for Mobile Devices, the alternative stainless grade is A2 (304). A2 (304) covers general indoor and outdoor service. A4 (316) adds molybdenum, which is what buys the chloride resistance for marine and de-icing-salt exposure. Where strength matters more than corrosion, plated alloy steel in class 8.8 or 10.9 is the swap to make.
Using Stainless Fasteners in Aluminum
Stainless steel is more noble than aluminum, so with an electrolyte present — rain, condensation, salt spray — the aluminum becomes the anode and corrodes at the joint. Area ratio decides how bad it gets: a small stainless fastener in a large aluminum section is normally acceptable, a large stainless fastener in thin aluminum is not. Where the joint gets wet, isolate the metals with a coated or nylon washer and a sealant, or specify an aluminum or coated fastener instead.
Sizes of Five-Lobe Bottom Service Screws for Mobile Devices Available in A4 Stainless Steel
| Service position | Drive | Driver size (mm) | Typical length (mm) | Length reference | Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bottom-edge pair | five-lobe | 0.8 | 6.75~6.8 | under head | device-specific replacement part |
Dimensions are independent of the material: every size above is available in A4 Stainless Steel.

Need this screw in a grade that is not listed?
A4 Stainless Steel is one of the grades the catalog describes. Material and finish are usually what drives a special — a grade the standard part is not stocked in, or a coating chosen against a salt-spray figure instead of a default. Made by cold heading or warm forging.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
