Mechanical properties of corrosion-resistant stainless steel fasteners — Part 1: Bolts, screws and studs - Second Edition
 N 3506-1

Annotation

This part of ISO 3506 specifies the mechanical properties of bolts, screws and studs made of austenitic, martensitic and ferritic grades of corrosion-resistant stainless steels, when tested over an ambient temperature range of 10 °C to 35 °C. Properties will vary at higher or lower temperatures.

This part of ISO 3506 applies to bolts, screws and studs

— with nominal thread diameter d less-than or equl to 39 mm,

— of triangular ISO metric threads with diameters and pitches in accordance with ISO 68-1, ISO 261 and ISO 262, and

— of any shape.

It does not apply to screws with special properties, such as weldability.

NOTE The designation system of this part of ISO 3506 can be used for sizes outside the limits given in this clause (e.g. d greater-than 39 mm), provided that all applicable mechanical and physical requirements of the property classes are met.

This part of ISO 3506 does not define corrosion or oxidation resistance in particular environments. However, some information on materials for particular environments is given in Annex E. Regarding definitions of corrosion and corrosion resistance, see ISO 8044.

The aim of this part of ISO 3506 is the classification of corrosion-resistant stainless steel fasteners1) into property classes. Some materials can be used at temperatures down to 200 °C, while some can be used at temperatures up to + 800 °C in air. Information on the influence of temperature on mechanical properties is found in Annex F.
