Grade 8.8 Steel Spring Lock Washer — GB/T 93 / DIN 127B (Series 080) pairs the standard GB/T 93 / DIN 127B with a Grade 8.8 Steel base material. The sections below cover why engineers select this grade for spring lock washer — gb/t 93 / din 127b (series 080), its corrosion and temperature behavior, and the sizes available.
Why Choose Grade 8.8 Steel for Spring Lock Washer — GB/T 93 / DIN 127B (Series 080)
The workhorse medium-carbon alloy grade for structural joints. For spring lock washer — gb/t 93 / din 127b (series 080), this matters when requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection is the primary requirement.
Mechanical & Physical Properties
| Grade designation | class 8.8 |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Magnetic |
| Service temperature | up to approx. +300 °C |
| Corrosion characteristic | Requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection |
Corrosion Behavior in Service
Carbon and alloy steel spring lock washer — gb/t 93 / din 127b (series 080) 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 Spring Lock Washer — GB/T 93 / DIN 127B (Series 080), 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.
