GENERAL
Fastener property classes covered in this standard are applicable to carbon or alloy screws and
nuts with diameter ≤ 39 mm when special properties such as weldability or surface hardness
higher than core hardness are required.
High strength screws and nuts for heavy --- duty application are excluded.
Mechanical properties are applicable at ambient temperature, while for a correct use of screws
or nuts of the various strength classes at temperatures different from ambient temperature,
between +300ûC and --- 50ûC, changes occurring in mechanical properties in relation to
temperature for each property class shall be taken into account, especially as regards
toughness at --- 20ûC to --- 50ûC.

--- For property classes of fasteners for Standard applications see Std. 52605/04.

--- For property classes of fasteners for severe applications, see Std. 52605/03.

--- For corrosion resistant fasteners see Std. 52605/07.

--- For low temperature, corrosion or heat resistant and/or thread diameter > 39 mm screws
and nuts, material and characteristics shall be specified on drawing.

NOTES

¡ For designations of classes see Std. 01307 --- ( ) Indicative values.

© Requirements for screws and nuts to be welded are mandatory also after welding.

¢ The threaded hexagonal rivets shall comply with the provisions of class 8 relating to test
load resistance as per Procurement Spec. 9.52605/01.

£ Serrated flange hexagon nuts shall meet the requirements of P.S. 9.52605/03 relating to
test load resistance with yield strength Rcp of 820 N/mm2 . For these nuts, a minimum core
hardness = HV 114 is allowed.

¤ Standard inspection is carried out by checking that parts are file hard (see Std. 50140).

¥ Nuts shall meet the requirements of P.S. 9.52605/03 relating to test load resistance with
yield strength Rcp of 780 N/mm2 for regular height nuts and 1000 N/mm2 for high nuts (Std.
10143/02).

¦ High nuts (Std. Sh. 10143/02) can be mated with screws with property class 10.9, R10 and
10R.

§ Any stabilizing treatment shall eliminate work --- hardening due to upsetting or drawing,
which might cause embrittlement during welding or brazing, but without reducing strength
to < 390 N/mm2 . To check for work hardening, screws shall be subjected to head bend test,
as per P.S. 9.52605/01 after heating to 600ûC approx.

¨ Screws shall be quenched and tempered. Total plus partial decarburization shall be ≤ 1/13
h3 on thread crest and ≤ 1/13 h3 on thread root.
(h3 = normal total thread height as per Stds. 01506 and 01507).

(F) For production method with machining, the corresponding lead --- content steels quoted in
the applicable Standards are allowed.
