Property Class 8.8 Steel Hex Nuts, Grade C

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

Property Class 8.8 Steel Hex Nuts, Grade C 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.

Property Class 8.8 Steel Hex Nuts, Grade C reference image

Hex Nuts, Grade C manufactured in Property Class 8.8 Steel (ISO 898-1 property class 8.8) are dimensioned to ISO 4034. The sections below give the mechanical and physical properties of the grade, its behavior in corrosive and elevated-temperature service, and the full size table.

Why Choose Property Class 8.8 Steel for Hex Nuts, Grade C

The workhorse medium-carbon alloy class for structural joints. For hex nuts, grade c, this matters when requires plating (zinc) for corrosion protection is the primary requirement.

Corrosion Behavior in Service

Carbon and alloy steel hex nuts, grade c 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 Hex Nuts, Grade C, 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.

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
    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
    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
    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
    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

Are Property Class 8.8 Steel Hex Nuts, Grade C magnetic?

Property Class 8.8 Steel Hex Nuts, Grade C are magnetic.

What corrosion resistance do Property Class 8.8 Steel Hex Nuts, Grade C offer?

Property Class 8.8 Steel Hex Nuts, Grade C 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.

When should I move from ISO 898-1 property class 8.8 to class 10.9 / 12.9 for Hex Nuts, Grade C?

Step up to class 10.9 / 12.9 when the joint preload approaches the proof load of the current class. The higher class adds preload at the same diameter, often saving size and weight.

Is Property Class 8.8 Steel prone to hydrogen embrittlement?

Class 10.9 and above can be susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement when electroplated. Specify post-plating baking, or use mechanical-zinc / zinc-flake finishes which avoid the cathodic plating step.
