Carbon Steel

Carbon Steel Prevailing torque type hexagon nuts with non-metallic insert, style 1 — ISO 7040 / DIN 982

Carbon steel is a widely used fastener material because it combines practical strength, broad manufacturing availability and competitive cost. It has no inherent corrosion resistance, so a surface finish such as zinc plating, hot-dip galvanizing or Dacromet is normally specified for anything beyond dry indoor use. Applicable bolt and screw property classes may be specified under ISO 898-1; the material, heat treatment and exact class still need confirmation for the ordered product. General machinery, structural steelwork and high-volume assembly where strength-to-cost matters and the surface is protected by a coating. Magnetic, and the lowest material cost of the common options. The table below is controlled selection guidance, not a claim that every listed grade is supplied.
