MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF BOLTS AND SCREWS
The following prescriptions conform to the contents of ISO 898/1, and apply to bolts and screws:• With coarse pitch thread M3 to M30, and fine pitch
thread from M8x1 to M30x2.• With triangular ISO thread in accordance with
ISO 68-1.• With diameter/pitch combinations in accordance with
ISO 261 and ISO 262
• With thread tolerance in accordance with ISO 965-1and ISO 965-2.
• Made of carbon steel or alloy steel.
It does not specify requirements for such properties as:Ability to withstand temperature above +300°C, or below–50°C.
1) Boron content can reach 0.005% provided thatnon-effective boron is controlled by addition of titanium and/or aluminium.
2) In case of plain carbon boron steel with a carboncontent below 0.25% (ladle analysis), the minimummanganese content shall be 0.6% for property class8.8 and 0.7% for property class 10.9.
3) For the materials of these property classes, it isintended that there should be a sufficienthardenability to ensure a structure consisting of approximately 90% martensite in the core of the threaded sections for the fasteners in the“as-hardened” condition before tempering.
4) This alloy steel shall contain at least one of thefollowing elements in the minimum quantity given:chromium 0.30%, nickel 0.30%, molybdenum
0.20%, vanadium 0.10%. Where elements arespecified in combinations of two, three or four andhave alloy contents less than those given above, thelimit value to be applied for class determination is70% of the sum of the individual limit values shownabove for the two, three or four elements concerned.
5) A metallographically detectable white phosphorousenriched layer is not permitted for property class 12.9.

HEAT-TREATED STEEL TAPPING SCREWS
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND PERFORMANCE
The primary objective of this International Standard is toensure that tapping screws will form mating threads inmaterials into which they are normally driven withoutdeforming their own thread and without breaking duringassembly or service.
MaterialsThe material used is casehardening quality steel.
Acceptance
For routine acceptance test, the drive test, torsional testand core hardness test may be used.
Drive testThe sample screws (coated or uncoated, as received)shall be driven into a test plate until a thread of fulldiameter is completely through the test plate.The test plate shall be made of low carbon steel with acarbon content not exceeding 0,23%. The hardness of the plate shall be 130 HV to 170 HV. The thickness of theplate shall conform to the values given in the followingtable.The test hole shall be drilled, or punched and redrilled,
or reamed to the hole diameter specified in table for thesize of screw being tested.

Torsional strength testThe shank of the sample screw (coated or uncoated, asreceived) shall be clamped in a mating, split, threadeddie or other device so that the clamped portion of thescrew is not damaged and at least two full threadsproject above the clamping device and at least two full-form threads exclusive of point are held within theclamping device.A threaded insert with a blind hole may be used in place
of the clamping device provided that the hole depthis such as to ensure that breakage will occur beyondthe point.By means of a suitable calibrated torque-measuringdevice, torque shall be applied to the screw until failureoccurs.The screw shall meet the minimum torsional strengthrequirements given in the following table.
In cases where screws are plated subsequent to delivery
to the purchaser (or where plating of screws is otherwiseunder the control of the purchaser), the producer is notresponsible for failure due to plating.In such cases, the bolt manufacturer can only be held
responsible if it is proved that the failure is not due to any
post-treatment.Screws from which the plating has been stripped off cannot be considered as samples.

LubricantThe nuts are delivered with an appropriate lubrication, inorder to meet the specified performance requirements.The lubricant do not cause any irritation on the skin, noremits an unpleasant odour.Nuts supplied with a lubricant are clean and dry to thetouch.If the lubricant is subsequently removed by the customer,the mechanical and performance properties of the nutchange.
Prevailing torque testWith reference to DIN 267-15 the prevailing torque test isconducted as follows.The prevailing torque test is conducted at roomtemperature using a torque wrench and with the aid of adevice for measuring the clamping load on the bolt.A test bolt, together with a test washer, is inserted in thedevice for measuring the clamping load on the test bolt.The nut to be tested is then assembled on the bolt so thatat least 2 full bolt threads protrude through the nut. Nuttightening may be either manual using a torque wrench or
using a torque-sensing power device. The maximumprevailing torque occurring while the nut is beingadvanced through the next 360° of nut rotation ismeasured. This torque shall not exceed the first fixingprevailing torque value specified in the table enclosed.Tightening is continued until the nut is seated against thetest washer. The length of the test bolt shall be such thatseating of the nut occurs when a length equivalent to fourto seven thread pitches of the bolt protrudes through thetop of the nut, measured from the end of the bolt. The nutshall then be tightened until a tensile load equal to theclamp load, as specified in the table, is developed in the
bolt. The test washer shall be prevented from turning.
The nut is then slackened until the tensile load in the bolthas been reduced to zero. The minimum prevailing torqueoccurring while the nut is being slackened through thenext 360° of rotation is measured. This torque shall be notless than the first fixing prevailing torque value as specifiedin table.The nut is then reassembled and removed four more times.On each assembly, the nut shall be advanced sufficientlyto allow a length equivalent to four to seven tread pitchesto protrude through the nut, without applying a test clamp
load. On each removal, the prevailing torque elementshall be disengaged from the bolt thread.During the fifth removal, the minimum prevailing torqueoccurring while the nut is being slackened through the first360° of rotation is measured. This torque shall be not lessthan the prevailing torque value specified in table. Inaddition, at no time during these four additional refixingsand removals shall the torque exceed the maximum firstfixing prevailing torque value.To avoid overheating of the assembly, sufficient time shallelapse between the torque application cycles. The speedof installation and removal of the nut shall not exceed 30
min – 1 and shall be continuous and uniform.A property class in accordance with ISO 898-1 whichcorresponds with that assigned to the nut shall be chosenfor the test bolt, e.g. nut: 8; bolt: 8.8. The surface finish of the bolt shall also correspond with that of the nut,normally electroplated in accordance with ISO 4042.Where nuts with a protective coating other than zinc orphosphate are to be tested, a bolt with a zinc-phosphateand oiled finish shall be used. In referee tests the nut andbolt shall have the same surface finish. A new test boltshall be used for testing each nut.

The standard specifies the general technical prescriptionsfor the following protective coating on threadedfasteners.- Phosphate coatings- Organic coatings- Mechanical coatings
It can be applied on other threaded or non-threadedfasteners, like washers and pins.
PHOSPHATE COATINGS
Designation systemThe designation system is defined by the followingsymbols:Fe: base metal followed by an oblique barFAR: zinc anti-corrosion phosphateFAG: anti-seizure manganese phosphateZn: zinc (or zinc-iron)Mn: manganese (or manganese-iron)Possible number: nominal coating thickness expressedin mm.
Designation example- Fe/FAR Zn 6It means zinc (or zinc-iron) anti-corrosion phosphate onsteel base; nominal coating thickness of 6 m.
PerformancesPhosphate coatings are usually applied to improve theanti-corrosion performances of the steel surface.
They are made of a tiny crystalline, strongly sticking tothe support, dent coat.Sizes and morphological structure of crystallines definesurface roughness; friction coefficient in screwing isgenerally influenced.The phosphate coating alone is defined by lowprotecting performances, because of its porous structure.Unless different agreements between customer andproducer, it must be soaked with oil.
Thickness and mass of phosphate coatingThe most reliable evaluation is the one referred tophosphate coating specific mass, it is expressed in gramsof coat per square metre of ferrous surface.That measure must be used in case of complaint. Coatingthickness measures with magnetic or electric methods,give results that can be slightly significant.They are suggested only to general check.

Performances of deembrittlement treatmentPhenomena of hydrogen embrittlement can especiallyexist in acid pickling. During zinc phosphate (because of the lower acidity of bathes), they generally don’t getremarkable intensity; on the contrary manganesephosphate in this case verges to be more dangerous.Whenever the material nominal minimum tensile strength
Rm is higher or equal to 1 200 N/mm2 (o similar) can beasked the deembrittlement treatment, and that must bespecified on draw or in ordering. In this case thedeembrittlement treatment can be carry out by heating infurnace, then followed by a cooling at room temperature,as specified in prospect, or staying 120h at roomtemperature.
Temperatures higher than 110 °C are not allowed, toavoid phenomena of chalking of phosphate coat (only
zinc-calcium phosphate allows higher temperature,until 150 °C).

GeneralityThis section defines the technical prescriptions aboutchemical anti-corrosion coatings mainly made of zincand other anodic materials, in comparison with supportmetal and made of polymeric organic binders andchromates.These coatings are known with different commercialnames (for example “DACROMET”).These coatings are especially recommended for fastenerswith tensile strength Rm higher or equal to 1040 N/mm2,
because they don’t produce hydrogen embrittlement.
Designation systemDesignation system is defined by the following symbols:Fe: base metalAC: chemical anti-corrosion coating, made of chromatesmetals and polymeric organic bindersACL: lubricant chemical anti-corrosion coating, made of metals, chromates and polymeric organic binders, with acarbonic fluorine polymer.5: nominal thickness of 5 mm (ordinary class) with aminimum specific mass of 20 g/m2
8: nominal thickness of 8 mm (extraordinary class) witha minimum specific mass of 32 g/m2.
Designation example- Fe/AC 5It means chemical anti-corrosion coating on steel, with anominal thickness equal to 5 m, in ordinary class.
PerformancesThe coating performances are defined by the followingproperties: appearance, thickness, corrosion resistance,adhesion (evaluated as adhesion to thermic stress).
AppearanceCoating must be silver grey coloured, half dull (in case of no post-treatment), homogeneous and uniform on all thesurface.Little dents and light possible exceed of material deposit
are allowed, on condition that check with the gageremains possible.
ThicknessReferring to thickness, coating can be divided in twoclasses:Ordinary class: minimum thickness 5 mm (nominal 5 mm)Extraordinary class: minimum thickness 8 mm (nominal 8 mm)Coating must not compromise screwing, therefore it’simportant the choice of the threaded tolerance position,referring to the recommended thickness, specified by thedrawing or on ordering.
Salt spray corrosion resistanceReferring to the process coating, significant surface is allthe sample surface, except concavities.

MECHANICAL COATINGS
GeneralityMechanical coating means applying protective coating,generally made of Zn, Sn, or Al individually or combinedput on the surface, and used as dust in checkedgranulometry water suspension, in a mechanical longrandom pressure action, pressed on details in definedbarrel, produced by mixing spheres of particular sizesand chemical catalyst.Mechanical coating is especially indicated as protectingcoating for high strength fasteners with a tensile strength
Rm higher or equal to 1040 N/mm2, since it doesn’tproduce hydrogen embrittlement.
Designation systemDesignation system is defined by the following symbols:Fe: base metal followed by a oblique barM: mechanical deposition of metallic coatingChemical symbols of coating element: example Zn o Sno Al. The sequence of two symbols of metals means thecoating is made of metallic layers in reference to theapplication order specified in designation.8, 10, 12, 15: nominal values of coating thickness,
expressed in mm, in case of only one layer; or the valueof the total layers thickness of the coating.
c: converting coating made of chromate materials1 e 2: converting coating classes made of chromatematerialsA, B, C, D: kind of converting coating made of chromatematerials *.PerformancesCoating performances are defined by the followingproperties: appearance, thickness, corrosion resistance,adhesion.
AppearanceMechanical coating, without chromate conversion, isdifferently coloured in reference to the coating metal;however its appearance is silvery, from dull to half-bright, homogeneous and uniform on all the surface.After chromate conversion, it gets the typical appearanceof the same.
ThicknessCoating must not compromise screwing.
Salt spray corrosion resistance
Referring to the process coating, significant surface is allthe sample surface, except corners.
* Subject to agreement between customer and producer, conversion coatings made of chromate materials designed byB, with a typical appearance “transparent and iridescent” and D, with a typical appearance “olive green and brown andbronze shades” and its corrosion resistance can be applied.
