Class 8.8 & 10.9 METRIC Bolts & Cap Screws

8.8

8.8 CLASS 8.8 BOLTS

A hex bolt with metric thread pitch made from medium carbon steel and heat-treated. Grade-A bolts are the preferred style for most
Description applications. Grade-B bolts have looser tolerances and can be manufactured in a cold or hot-forging process.
Applications/
Has greater tensile strength than Class 4.6, 4.8 and 5.8 bolts.
Advantages
Class 8.8 bolts can be made from a carbon steel with additives (such as Boron, Manganese or Chromium) which conforms to the
following chemical composition-- Carbon: 0.15-0.40%; Phosphorus: 0.035% maximum; Sulfur: 0.035% maximum. In case of plain
Material carbon boron alloyed steel with a carbon content of less than 0.25% (ladle analysis), the minimum Manganese content shall be 0.6%
Class 8.8 bolts can be made from a carbon steel which conforms to the following chemical composition-- Carbon: 0.25-0.55%;
Phosphorus: 0.035% maximum; Sulfur: 0.035% maximum.
Class 8.8 bolts shall be heat treated by quenching in a liquid medium from above the transformation temperature and reheating to a
Heat Treatment tempering temperature of 425C.
For diameters less than or equal to 16mm: Rockwell C22 - 32 (Vickers HV 250 - 320)
Core Hardness
For diameters greater than 16mm: Rockwell C23 - 34 (Vickers HV 255 - 335)
Surface Hardness Shall not be more than 30 Vickers points above the measured core hardness on the product
For diameters less than or equal to 16mm: 640 N/mm2 minimum
Proof Load
For diameters greater than 16mm: 660 N/mm2 minimum
For diameters less than or equal to 16mm: 800 N/mm2 minimum
Tensile Strength For diameters greater than 16mm: 830 N/mm2 minimum
Elongation 12% minimum
Plating See Appendix-A for plating information

10.9

10.9
CLASS 10.9 BOLTS
A bolt with metric thread pitch made from medium carbon alloy steel and heat-treated. Grade-A bolts are the preferred style for most
Description applications. Grade-B bolts have looser tolerances and can be manufactured in a cold or hot-forging process.
Applications/
Has greater tensile strength than Class 8.8 bolts; is most comparable but not exactly equivalent to U.S. Grade 8 cap screws.
Advantages
Class 10.9 bolts can be made from a carbon steel which conforms to the following chemical composition-- Carbon: 0.25-0.55%;
Phosphorus: 0.035% maximum; Sulfur: 0.035% maximum.
Class 10.9 bolts can be made from a low carbon martensite steel with additives (such as Boron, Manganese or Chromium) which
conforms to the following chemical composition-- Carbon: 0.20-0.55%; Phosphorus: 0.035% maximum; Sulfur: 0.035% maximum. In
Material case of plain carbon boron alloyed steel with a carbon content 0f less than 0.25% (ladle analysis), the minimum Manganese content
shall be 0.7%
Class 10.9 bolts can be made from an alloy steel which conforms to the following chemical composition--
Carbon: 0.20-0.55%; Phosphorus: 0.035% maximum; Sulfur: 0.035% maximum; and shall contain one or more of the following
elements: Chromium, Nickel, Molybdenum or Vanadium
Class 10.9 bolts shall be heat treated by quenching in oil from above the transformation temperature and reheating to a tempering
Heat Treatment temperature of 425C.
Core Hardness Rockwell C32 - 39 (Vickers HV 320 - 380)

Surface Hardness Shall not be more than 30 Vickers points above the measured core hardness on the product
Proof Load 940 N/mm2 minimum
Tensile Strength 1040 N/mm2 minimum
Elongation 9% minimum
