Product Overview
Metric Grade 12.9 screws are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured to ISO 898-1 and EN 20898-1 standards. These screws are quenched and tempered to achieve a minimum tensile strength of 1220 MPa, making them ideal for critical bolted joints requiring maximum clamping force and resistance to shear and fatigue.
Grade 12.9 screws are widely specified in heavy machinery, automotive, and structural applications where superior mechanical performance is essential. Their black oxide or zinc-plated finish provides moderate corrosion resistance, and they are available in a wide range of metric sizes and thread forms.
