Metric 10.9 Hex Head Cap Screw with Plain Finish

A Metric Hex Head Cap Screw Grade 10.9 with Plain Plating is a high-strength fastener commonly used in demanding applications where mechanical strength and durability are paramount. This screw features a hexagonal head, which allows it to be driven by a wrench or socket, making it easy to install or remove in a variety of settings. The screw is made from a medium to high-carbon steel alloy, ensuring it has excellent tensile strength and resistance to wear, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.

Specifications: DIN 931, 933, 960, and 961
The DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) is the German national standards organization, and the referenced DIN specifications outline specific standards for various types of screws.

DIN 931: This standard covers Hexagon Head Screws with a fully threaded body, generally used where both ends of the screw are exposed. They are primarily used for general fastening needs, with a threaded length that extends the full length of the screw.

DIN 933: This specification applies to Hexagon Head Screws that are partially threaded. The part of the screw that remains unthreaded allows for additional strength in the area of the screw that goes into a solid material, making it ideal for structural applications.

DIN 960: This standard is for Hexagon Head Screws with a partially threaded shaft but with a greater precision in dimensions and mechanical properties. These screws are commonly used in automotive, industrial machinery, and structural applications.

DIN 961: It defines Hexagon Head Screws with longer unthreaded portions. This is often specified for applications where a higher level of precision and load-bearing strength is required.

Grade 10.9
Grade 10.9 indicates the strength class of the bolt, with a minimum tensile strength of 1040 MPa. This high-strength material makes it suitable for applications that experience heavy loads, vibrations, and extreme conditions. The "10" refers to the ultimate tensile strength of the material, while the ".9" indicates a yield strength of about 90% of the ultimate tensile strength.

Plain Plating
The plain plating refers to the absence of any coating or finish on the screw. This means the screw will have a natural finish, offering no additional protection against corrosion or other environmental factors. However, plain plating can still work well in dry or non-corrosive environments. For applications that require increased resistance to corrosion, screws are often coated with materials like zinc or chrome plating.

Users and Applications
The primary users of Metric Hex Head Cap Screws Grade 10.9 are manufacturers, construction companies, and automotive industries. These screws are used in applications such as heavy machinery assembly, structural support systems, automotive chassis, and industrial equipment where high mechanical stress is common. They are favored by engineers who need fasteners that provide both strength and reliability under demanding conditions.
