Grade 8.8 Steel Tab Lock Washer for Round Nut

Grade 8.8 Steel Tab Lock Washer for Round Nut reference image

Material specification page for tab lock washer for round nut in Grade 8.8 Steel. Covers the grade designation (class 8.8), corrosion and magnetic behavior, comparable grades and their trade-offs, and the sizes available to GB/T 858.

Why Choose Grade 8.8 Steel for Tab Lock Washer for Round Nut — GB/T 858 (Series 073)

The workhorse medium-carbon alloy grade for structural joints. For tab lock washer for round nut — gb/t 858 (series 073), this matters when requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection is the primary requirement.

Mechanical & Physical Properties

Grade designationclass 8.8
Magnetic responseMagnetic
Service temperatureup to approx. +300 °C
Corrosion characteristicRequires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection

Corrosion Behavior in Service

Carbon and alloy steel tab lock washer for round nut — gb/t 858 (series 073) 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 Tab Lock Washer for Round Nut — GB/T 858 (Series 073), 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Grade 8.8 Steel prone to hydrogen embrittlement?

Class 10.9 and above can be susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement when electroplated. Specify post-plating baking, or use mechanical-zinc / zinc-flake finishes which avoid the cathodic plating step.

Which finish is best for outdoor Tab Lock Washer for Round Nut — GB/T 858 (Series 073)?

For outdoor service in steel, hot-dip galvanizing gives the longest life; zinc-flake (Geomet/Delta-Tone family) gives a thinner film with excellent salt-spray performance; standard zinc plating is the lowest-cost option for general indoor / shielded outdoor use.

What's the service temperature limit for Grade 8.8 Steel?

The practical service range is up to approx. +300 °C.

Can Grade 8.8 Steel replace stainless steel structurally?

No — stainless A2/A4 cannot match class 10.9 / 12.9 strength. Stainless is selected for corrosion, not raw strength.
