Grade 8.8 Steel Tab Lock Washer for Round Nut — GB/T 858 (Series 089) pairs the standard GB/T 858 with a Grade 8.8 Steel base material. The sections below cover why engineers select this grade for tab lock washer for round nut — gb/t 858 (series 089), its corrosion and temperature behavior, and the sizes available.
Why Choose Grade 8.8 Steel for Tab Lock Washer for Round Nut — GB/T 858 (Series 089)
The workhorse medium-carbon alloy grade for structural joints. For tab lock washer for round nut — gb/t 858 (series 089), 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 |
Galvanic & Galling Considerations
For tab lock washer for round nut — gb/t 858 (series 089) 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 Tab Lock Washer for Round Nut — GB/T 858 (Series 089), 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.
