Property Class 8.8 Steel PEEK Engineering Plastic Micro Countersunk Screws

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

Property Class 8.8 Steel PEEK Engineering Plastic Micro Countersunk Screws 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

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

PEEK Engineering Plastic Micro Countersunk Screws manufactured in Property Class 8.8 Steel (ISO 898-1 property class 8.8) are dimensioned to Trade series (PEEK micro screws). 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 PEEK Engineering Plastic Micro Countersunk Screws

The workhorse medium-carbon alloy class for structural joints. For peek engineering plastic micro countersunk screws, 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 peek engineering plastic micro countersunk screws 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 PEEK Engineering Plastic Micro Countersunk Screws, 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.

Applications & Industries

PEEK Engineering Plastic Micro Countersunk Screws are bought for a small number of well-defined jobs. These are the ones we ship them for. Stocked from M1.2 to M1.6.

Industries that specify PEEK Engineering Plastic Micro Countersunk Screws

Prototype assemblies Countersunk plastic screws avoid a metal head near the component.
Insulated electronics Engineering-plastic screws provide a nonconductive threaded joint in a compact package.
Vacuum and analytical equipment Low-outgassing plastic is used around sensitive instruments.
Chemical equipment PEEK resists service environments where ordinary metal hardware may be unsuitable.
Automotive & transport Chassis, driveline and body fixings that see vibration and are assembled to a controlled preload.
Steel fabrication Bolted connections in frames, enclosures, walkways and weldments, on the bench and on site.

Typical applications

using the 90-degree head seat and No. 0 recess
providing electrical insulation with a miniature countersunk screw
checking the documented break loads instead of borrowing metal-screw torque
matching the plastic screw to the parent thread without over-driving it
joints where the property class is stated on the drawing
clamping two machined faces to a calculated preload

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.
Torque and preload: The joint is designed around bolt tension, so lubrication, coating and the friction coefficient all change the torque figure — state them together.

Where to use something else

Do not substitute metal-fastener torque for the plastic break-torque example; over-driving can fracture the screw.
Do not use a machine thread into unthreaded sheet or timber; use a tapping screw, rivet nut or insert made for that parent material.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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

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.

Which finish is best for outdoor PEEK Engineering Plastic Micro Countersunk Screws?

For outdoor service in steel, hot-dip galvanizing gives the longest life; zinc-flake (Geomet/Delta-Tone family) gives a thinner film with excellent salt-spray performance; standard zinc plating is the lowest-cost option for general indoor / shielded outdoor use.

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.
