| Steel 8.8Steel 8.8 The everyday property class for machine parts. | Property class 8.8 does not cover M48. | ||||
| Steel 10.9Steel 10.9 High strength, for heavily loaded joints. | Property class 10.9 does not cover M48. | ||||
| Steel 12.9Steel 12.9 The strongest property class in common use. Sensitive to hydrogen: avoid electroplated coatings. The property class this standard is usually made in.usual | Property class 12.9 does not cover M48. | ||||
| Stainless A2-70Stainless A2-70 Austenitic stainless A2 (like AISI 304): general corrosion resistance. | Property class A2-70 does not cover M48. | ||||
| Stainless A4-80Stainless A4-80 Austenitic stainless A4 (like AISI 316, with molybdenum): for sea water and chemicals. | Property class A4-80 does not cover M48. | ||||
* Stainless: load at yield (Rp0.2 × As); ISO 3506-1 gives no proof load.
Stainless steel: the real friction is higher and scatters widely, so the torque shown is only a starting point; type your own µ in the box.
