For trapezoidal (metric acme-type) threaded rod in Property Class 8.8 Steel, the controlling selection factors are corrosion exposure, strength requirement and service temperature. The grade data for Property Class 8.8 Steel (ISO 898-1 property class 8.8) is summarized below together with every size supplied.
Why Choose Property Class 8.8 Steel for Trapezoidal (Metric ACME-Type) Threaded Rod
The workhorse medium-carbon alloy class for structural joints. For trapezoidal (metric acme-type) threaded rod, 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 trapezoidal (metric acme-type) threaded rod 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 trapezoidal (metric acme-type) threaded rod 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.

Need this bolt in a grade that is not listed?
Grade 8 8 Steel is one of the grades the catalog describes. A non-standard bolt is quoted from the drawing; where one already exists in the catalog, the special is usually a variation on its tooling. Made by cold heading or hot forging.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
