# Property Class 8.8 Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts

Nuts · Trade series (lantern-type clinch rivet nuts)

Mechanical properties, corrosion behaviour and the full dimensional range for this grade.

Property Class 8.8 Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts are supplied to ISO 898-1 property class 8.8. Corrosion behaviour is requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection, the material is magnetic, and the usable service range is commonly limited to approx. +300 °C; confirm against the coating and the load. In practice this grade is the workhorse medium-carbon alloy class for structural joints.

- **Grade:** ISO 898-1 property class 8.8
- **Corrosion resistance:** Requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection
- **Magnetic response:** Magnetic
- **Service temperature:** commonly limited to approx. +300 °C; confirm against the coating and the load

Property values are typical for the grade. Certified mechanical test data is available on request for production orders.

Property Class 8.8 Steel (ISO 898-1 property class 8.8) is the workhorse medium-carbon alloy class for structural joints. Specified on clinch lantern rivet nuts it determines the corrosion behaviour (requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection) and the service temperature range (commonly limited to approx. +300 °C; confirm against the coating and the load); the dimensions are ours rather than a standard's, and are listed in full below.

## Why Choose Property Class 8.8 Steel for Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts

The workhorse medium-carbon alloy class for structural joints. For clinch lantern rivet nuts, 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 clinch lantern rivet nuts 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.

## Galvanic & Galling Considerations

For clinch lantern rivet nuts 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.

## Sizes of Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts Available in Property Class 8.8 Steel

| Thread size | Body form | End form | Grip range | Material and plating |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| M4 | lantern (folding body) | open end | set by body length | carbon steel, zinc plated |
| M5 | lantern (folding body) | open end | set by body length | carbon steel, zinc plated |
| M6 | lantern (folding body) | open or closed end | set by body length | carbon steel, zinc plated |
| M8 | lantern (folding body) | open or closed end | set by body length | carbon steel, zinc plated |

Dimensions are independent of the material: every size above is available in Property Class 8.8 Steel.

## Applications & Industries

Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts are bought for a small number of well-defined jobs. These are the ones we ship them for. Stocked from M4 to M8.

### Industries that specify Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts

- **Equipment assembly:** Open and closed ends for exposed and sealed positions.
- **Sheet-metal fabrication:** A folding body gives a wider bearing footprint behind thin sheet.
- **Enclosure manufacture:** Blind installation from one side only.
- **Vehicle bodywork:** Threads added to panels that cannot be tapped.
- **Building services:** Threaded rod, channel and suspension assemblies.
- **Machine building & OEM:** The clamping counter-face on studs and bolts throughout an assembly.

### Typical applications

- setting with the correct tool so the lantern folds evenly
- drilling the specified hole before setting
- matching grip range to the actual panel thickness
- choosing a closed end where the back face must stay sealed
- locking an adjustment so it cannot drift
- joints re-torqued at a service interval

### Service conditions to specify against

- **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
- **High load:** Supplied in ISO 898-1 property classes, so the joint can be designed to a stated proof load and tightened to a calculated torque rather than by feel.
- **Match the class:** A nut below the bolt property class strips before the bolt reaches its own limit — pair class 8 nuts with 8.8 bolts, class 10 with 10.9.

### Where to use something else

- Do not set a lantern nut outside its grip range; a body that folds in the wrong place spins in the hole under load.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What's the service temperature limit for Property Class 8.8 Steel?

The practical service range is commonly limited to approx. +300 °C; confirm against the coating and the load.

### Can Property Class 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.

### Are Property Class 8.8 Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts magnetic?

Property Class 8.8 Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts are magnetic.

### What corrosion resistance do Property Class 8.8 Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts offer?

Property Class 8.8 Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts provide requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection with a service range of commonly limited to approx. +300 °C; confirm against the coating and the load.
