Product Overview
Metric Grade 8.8 screws are high-strength carbon 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 800 MPa and a yield strength of 640 MPa, making them the most widely specified class for structural and machinery bolting in general engineering.
Grade 8.8 screws are zinc plated or hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection and are available in a wide range of head types, including hex, socket, and countersunk. They are the default choice for critical bolted joints in steel structures, automotive assemblies, and heavy equipment worldwide.
