Specifying Clevis Pin — ISO / DIN (Series 101) in Grade 12.9 Steel pairs the dimensional form of Clevis Pin — ISO / DIN (Series 101) (ISO / DIN) with the engineering properties of Grade 12.9 Steel. This page explains when to choose the grade, how it behaves in service, and which grades to compare it against.
Why Choose Grade 12.9 Steel for Clevis Pin — ISO / DIN (Series 101)
The highest common strength class, for high-load machine assembly. For clevis pin — iso / din (series 101), this matters when requires plating or black-oxide protection is the primary requirement.
Mechanical & Physical Properties
| Grade designation | class 12.9 |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Magnetic |
| Service temperature | up to approx. +300 °C |
| Corrosion characteristic | Requires plating or black-oxide protection |
Corrosion Behavior in Service
Carbon and alloy steel clevis pin — iso / din (series 101) require a coating for corrosion protection. Zinc plating (with or without passivation) is the most common; hot-dip galvanizing is used for outdoor structural service; black-oxide is mainly a tarnish-prevention finish for tool-room use.
Comparable Grades
For Clevis Pin — ISO / DIN (Series 101), class 8.8 is the comparable strength step. Move up when the joint preload approaches the proof load of the current class; move down when the joint is over-specified. For corrosion-critical service, switch to stainless A2 or A4.
