Material page for threaded rod in Property Class 12.9 Steel (ISO 898-1 property class 12.9). 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 requires plating or black-oxide protection and the service range is commonly limited to approx. +300 °C; confirm against the coating and the load.
Why Choose Property Class 12.9 Steel for Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 153)
The highest common strength class, for high-load machine assembly. For threaded rod — iso / din (series 153), this matters when requires plating or black-oxide protection is the primary requirement.
Mechanical & Physical Properties
| Grade designation | ISO 898-1 property class 12.9 |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Magnetic |
| Service temperature | commonly limited to approx. +300 °C; confirm against the coating and the load |
| Corrosion characteristic | Requires plating or black-oxide protection |
Corrosion Behavior in Service
Carbon and alloy steel threaded rod — iso / din (series 153) 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 Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 153), 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.

Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing
Need this bolt in a grade that is not listed?
Grade 12 9 Steel is one of the grades the catalog describes. A non-standard bolt is quoted from the drawing; where one already exists in the catalog, the special is usually a variation on its tooling. Made by cold heading or hot forging.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
