Influence of Chemicals in Steel
Steel alloys using difference chemical elements are
produced in order to improve the physical properties of
the material and to achieve special properties:
Carbon (C)
Although this is not considered to be an alloying element,
it is the most important component in steel. It improves
tensile strength, hardness and abrasion resistance. It
reduces ductility, rigidity and machining.
Manganese (Mn)
This is an oxidiser and degasifier and reacts with sulphur
to improve forgeability. It increases tensile strength,
hardness and durability.
Phosphorus (P)
This increases tensile strength and hardness and improves
machinability. It causes fragility in steel.
Sulphur (S)
Improves machining qualities in the presence of
manganese. It reduces weldability, impact, roughness,
and ductility.
Silicon (Si)
This is a deoxidiser and degasifier. It increases tensile
strength, elasticity, hardness and forgeability.
Chromium (Cr)
Increase breaking strength, hardness, durability,
roughness, and resistance to high temperatures.
Nickel (Ni)
This raises strength and hardness, while maintaining
ductility and rigidity. It increases resistance to cracking
and high temperatures.
Molybdenum (Mo)
This increases strength, hardness, durability, and rigidity,
together with resistance to creaking & to high temperatures.
Titanium (Ti)
This is used as a stabilising element in stainless steels.
It has a great affinity for carbon.

Body and Grip Length Dimensions

• LG is the maximum grip length and is the distance from the bearing surface to the first complete thread.
• LB is the minimum body length and is the length of the unthreaded cylindrical portion of the shank.
• Dimensions for LB and LG are calculated from the following formula:
LG
T Ref = (2x Nominal Dia) plus 12mm.
LB
LG max = Nominal length “L” minus “T”
LB min = Nominal length “L” minus (T + 5 pitches)

9 LG is the maximum grip length and is the distance from the bearing
surface to the first complete thread. LB is the minimum body length
9 1/2
and is the length of the unthreaded cylindrical portion of the shank.
10
Thread length for the sizes up to and including 1” diameter shall be
11
controlled by the grip length and body length as shown in the table.
12 For sizes larger than 1” the minimum complete thread length shall
13 be equal to the basic thread length, and the total thread length
14 including imperfect threads shall be basic thread length plus five
15 pitches. Lengths too short to apply formula shall be threaded to
16 head. Complete threads shall extend within two pitches of the head
17 lengths above the heavy line on sizes up to and including 5/8” dia.
Larger diameters shall be threaded as close to the head as practicable.
18
Screws of longer lengths than those tabulated shall have a thread
19
length conforming to the formula for sizes larger than 1”.

SOCKET HEAD
SHOULDER
SCREWS
Unbrako shoulder screws are hardened shafts with a knurled head and threaded portion.
The shoulder formed where the threads meet the larger diameter body acts as a stop
when the screw is threaded into a tapped hole, permitting the screw to be used as a pivot,
shaft, or stationary guide.
Unbrako shoulder screws are used to operate stripper plates and in pressure pads a wide
variety of tool and die work. They are also used as shafts or pivots, holding pulleys, gears,
cams and cam followers, ratchets and circular form tools. Stationary guide applications
including locating pins in fixtures, latch stops, alignment of stationary members, linkage
blocks, and stock guides in dies. Unbrako shoulder screws are especially advantageous in
applications where the fastened part must be removed frequently. For instance, when the
shoulder screw is used as a shaft for circular form tools, the screw can be removed to
permit sharpening of the tool in a matter of seconds. Assembly is equally as fast.
Unbrako shoulder screws are made of high grade alloy steel the precision tolerance on
the shoulder provides close and accurate mating with the fastened components. Unbrako
manufactures to a tolerance position closer than that required by international standards.

FLAT HEAD THE WORLD LEADER
COUNTERSUNK

SOCKET SCREWS
Modern equipment and machinery requires stronger
more reliable joints to hold their parts together - and
stronger more reliable fasteners.
That’s why Unbrako countersunk screws are so widely

used for fastening of plates, strips, mouldings, and other
thin section parts. Unbrako countersunk screws provide
reliable fastening and a smooth, attractive, flush
mounting that enhances the appearance of the product
on which they are used.
Unbrako countersunk screws provide more clamping

force because they are manufactured from high grade
alloy steel, and held to exacting tolerances to ensure the
highest degree of dimensional uniformity. The closely
controlled head angle assures flush seating, and close
all-round head contact by initially contacting at the
upper portion of the head bearing area in the counter-
sunk hole. Closely controlled threads mean tighter and
more secure fits, and stronger assemblies. Deep accurate
non-slip sockets provide maximum key engagement for
full tightening without marring the surrounding surface.
Unbrako countersunk screws are available with either

plain or plated finish. Stainless steel screws are also
available.

UN Head markings may vary slightly recommended for moderate fastening applications: machine guards, hinges, covers, etc. They
are not suggested for use in critical high load strength applications where socket head cap screws
identifications for M5 diameter & larger. should be used. Also due to their head configuration they may not meet the minimum ultimate
tensile requirements for property class 12.9 as specified in EN ISO 898-1. They are nevertheless
required to meet the other material and property requirements for property class 12.9.

BUTTON THE WORLD LEADER
HEAD CAP

SCREWS
Unbrako button head screws are ideally suited for use in materials too thin to countersink and in non-critical
loading applications. Their low head profile gives them smooth, aesthetic appearance, and their deep accurate
sockets ensure non-slip wrench engagement to prevent marring of the surface in which they are installed.
Unbrako button head screws are made from high grade alloy steel and every manufacturing operation is
closely controlled. Heads are forged for greater strength and full formed radius-root rolled threads assure
close tolerances, maximum strength and superior fatigue resistance. Deep
accurate sockets allow full tightening, and customized heat treatment of
each heat of steel ensures maximum strength and hardness without
brittleness.
FEATURES & BENEFITS

Low head profile for enhanced Heat treatment in a controlled
in situ appearance. atmosphere for maximum

GENERAL NOTE
Flat, countersunk head cap screws and button head cap screws are designed and recommended for
moderate fastening applications: machine guards, hinges, covers, etc. These are not suggested for use in
critical high strength applications where socket head cap screws should be used.

General Note: Flat, countersunk head cap screws and button head cap screws are designed and
recommended for moderate fastening applications: machine guards, hinges, covers, etc. They
are not suggested for use in critical high strength applications where socket head cap screws
should be used. Also due to their head configuration they may not meet the minimum ultimate
tensile requirements for property class 12.9 as specified in EN ISO 898-1. They are nevertheless
required to meet the other material and property requirements for property class 12.9.

FLANGE THE WORLD LEADER
BUTTON HEAD
CAP SCREWS
Unbrako flange button head screws allow the covering of large diameter holes in sheet metal. As the large
under head surface pressure by area is low, this fastener can also be used with softer materials without
harm or damage. Flange button heads are ideal to fix strips, cover plates and sheet metal housings.
The radius on the button head presents a streamlined profile, virtually eliminating the sharp edges which
could occur with a bolt and washer assembly.
Unbrako flange button head screws are available with metric threads and are made from high grade alloy
steel.
FEATURES & BENEFITS

Flange facilitates greater load spread
and streamlined appearance
Precision forged head for continuous
grain flow and maximum strength
Radiused root runout increases
fatigue life
Deep, accurate socket for uniform wrenching

power and high maximum torques.
Fully formed radiused threads rolled
to maintain continuous grain flow for
Heat treated in a controlled atmosphere for greater tensile & fatigue strength
maximum uniform strength and surface
integrity without brittleness or decarburisation

Durlok® locking wedge washers when used with standard or high

grade screws helps achieve self-locking properties. It utilizes tension
instead of friction to secure bolted joints. Durlok washers come
pre-assembled in pairs. They have wedge faces on the inside and
radial teeth on the outside. They are designed such that the wedge

the wedge faces. During vibration, even a smallest turn of the screw
causes an increase in pre-load force due to the wedge effect and the Wedge

Thus the screw will not loosen or unscrew, even under severe jarring &
vibration. Durlok washers are re-usable with locking ability maintained.
Note: the washers are always used in pairs. For through holes two pairs of Durlok washers should be used. For studbolt Durlok washers lock the nut.
Durlok washers must not be used with other flat washers.

Screw Fastener Theory & Applications
INSTALLATION CONTROL Single Shear

Several factors should be considered in designing a joint
or selecting a fastener for a particular application.
JOINT DESIGN AND FASTENER SELECTION.

Joint Length
The longer the joint length, the greater the total elongation
will occur in the bolt to produce the desired clamp load or
preload. In design, if the joint length is increased, the Double Shear
potential loss of preload is decreased.
Joint Material
If the joint material is relatively stiff compared to the bolt
material, it will compress less and therefore provide a less
sensitive joint, less sensitive to loss of preload as a result
of brinelling, relaxation and even loosening. OTHER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Shear testing, as previously mentioned, consists of
loading a fastener perpendicular to its axis. All shear
testing should be accomplished on the un-threaded
portion of the fastener.
Checking hardness of parts is an indirect method for

testing tensile strength. Over the years, a correlation of
tensile strength to hardness has been obtained for most
materials. See page 136 for more detailed information.
Since hardness is a relatively easy and inexpensive test,

been offered and to state the fundamental concepts which
apply to forces and elastic deformations in concentrically
loaded joints. The article concludes with general design
formulae that take into account variations in tightening,
preload loss during service, and the relation between
preloads, external loads and bolt loads.
The Joint Diagram

Forces less than proof load cause elastic strains.
Conversely, changes in elastic strains produce force
variations. For bolted joints this concept is usually
demonstrated by joint diagrams.
The most important deformations within a joint are elastic

bolt elongation and elastic joint compression in the axial
direction. If the bolted joint in Fig. 1 is subjected to the
preload Fi the bolt elongates as shown by the line OB in Fig. 1 (above)
Fig. 2A and the joint compresses as shown by the line OJ. Joint components
These two lines, representing the spring characteristics of
the bolt and joint, are combined into one diagram in
Fig. 2B to show total elastic deformation.
If a concentric external load Fe is applied under the bolt

head and nut in Fig. 1, the bolt elongates an additional
amount while the compressed joint members partially
relax. These changes in deformation with external loading
are the key to the interaction of forces in bolted joints.

If the external load Fe is an alternating load, FeB is that
part of Fe working as an alternating bolt load, as shown in
Fig. 3B. This joint diagram also illustrates that the joint
absorbs more of the external load than the bolt subjected
to an alternating external load.
The importance of adequate preload is shown in Fig. 3C.

Comparing Fig. 3B and Fig. 3C, it can be seen that FeB will
remain relatively small as long as the preload Fi is
greater than FeJ. Fig. 3C represents a joint with insufficient
preload. Under this condition, the amount of external load
that the joint can absorb is limited, and the excess load
