Property Class 8.8 Steel Hex Socket Cone Point Set Screw combine the dimensional form of GB/T 78 / ISO 4027 with the material properties of grade ISO 898-1 property class 8.8: requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection, magnetic, service range commonly limited to approx. +300 °C; confirm against the coating and the load. This page summarizes the grade data, its corrosion behavior in service, the comparable grades, and the sizes supplied.
Why Choose Property Class 8.8 Steel for Hex Socket Cone Point Set Screw — GB/T 78 / ISO 4027 (Series 027)
The workhorse medium-carbon alloy class for structural joints. For hex socket cone point set screw — gb/t 78 / iso 4027 (series 027), 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 |
Galvanic & Galling Considerations
For hex socket cone point set screw — gb/t 78 / iso 4027 (series 027) in steel, the dominant compatibility issue is hydrogen embrittlement at high property classes (10.9 and above) when electroplated. Plating must be followed by an appropriate baking treatment, or a non-electroplated finish (mechanical zinc, zinc flake) should be substituted.
Comparable Grades
For Hex Socket Cone Point Set Screw — GB/T 78 / ISO 4027 (Series 027), 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.
