Metric 10.9 Hex Head Cap Screw
Metric Hex Head Cap Screws Grade 10.9 with Zinc Cr3 Plating
Metric hex head cap screws grade 10.9 are high-strength fasteners used in various demanding industrial applications. The "10.9" grade denotes the screw’s material strength. The "10" indicates a tensile strength of 1,000 MPa, while the "9" refers to a yield strength of 900 MPa, meaning the screw can withstand considerable loads before failure or deformation. This high tensile strength makes grade 10.9 screws suitable for applications that require robust, reliable fastening.
These screws often come with a Zinc Cr3 plating, which adds a layer of corrosion resistance. Zinc plating helps protect the screws from rust and deterioration, especially in harsh environmental conditions. The Cr3, or trivalent chromium, indicates an environmentally friendly coating method that replaces older, more toxic hexavalent chromium coatings. Zinc Cr3 plating ensures both corrosion protection and a sleek, bluish finish that is aesthetically appealing while maintaining environmental safety.
Sizing
Metric hex head cap screws are sized by their nominal diameter and length. The sizing is denoted in millimeters, with common sizes including M6, M8, M10, and M12, where the "M" refers to the metric system and the number indicates the screw’s nominal diameter. Length is measured in millimeters as well, and specific thread lengths (partial or full) are available depending on the application.
Industries and Applications
Grade 10.9 metric hex head cap screws are essential in industries that require high-strength, durable fasteners, including the automotive, construction, machinery, and aerospace industries. In automotive applications, they are often used in engine components, chassis, and suspension systems. In construction, they secure heavy machinery and structural elements. The high strength and corrosion resistance of these screws make them ideal for critical applications that demand safety and reliability under heavy loads.
