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.

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.

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.

Need this screw in a grade that is not listed?
Grade 8 8 Steel is one of the grades the catalog describes. Lengths and thread lengths outside the standard table are the commonest request, followed by a drive the standard does not offer and a head marked with your own part number. Made by cold heading or warm forging.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

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.
