Material specification page for fine-thread hex head cap screws, fully threaded in Property Class 8.8 Steel. Covers the grade designation (ISO 898-1 property class 8.8), corrosion and magnetic behavior, comparable grades and their trade-offs, and the sizes available to ISO 8676 / DIN 961.
Why Choose Property Class 8.8 Steel for Fine-Thread Hex Head Cap Screws, Fully Threaded
The workhorse medium-carbon alloy class for structural joints. For fine-thread hex head cap screws, fully threaded, 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 fine-thread hex head cap screws, fully threaded 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 Fine-Thread Hex Head Cap Screws, Fully Threaded, 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.
