Material specification page for socket head shoulder screw in Property Class 8.8 Steel. Covers the grade designation (ISO 898-1 property class 8.8), corrosion and magnetic behavior, comparable grades and their trade-offs, and the sizes available to GB/T 5281 / ISO 7379.
Why Choose Property Class 8.8 Steel for Socket Head Shoulder Screw — GB/T 5281 / ISO 7379 (Series 017)
The workhorse medium-carbon alloy class for structural joints. For socket head shoulder screw — gb/t 5281 / iso 7379 (series 017), this matters when requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection is the primary requirement.
Mechanical & Physical Properties
| Grade designation | ISO 898-1 property class 8.8 |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Magnetic |
| Service temperature | commonly limited to approx. +300 °C; confirm against the coating and the load |
| Corrosion characteristic | Requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection |
Corrosion Behavior in Service
Carbon and alloy steel socket head shoulder screw — gb/t 5281 / iso 7379 (series 017) 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 Socket Head Shoulder Screw — GB/T 5281 / ISO 7379 (Series 017), class 10.9 or 12.9 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.
