ISO 898-1 Grade 10.9, 12.9 Threaded Rod

ISO 898-1 Grade 10.9, 12.9 Threaded Rod
ISO 898-1 is an international standard that specifies the mechanical properties of carbon steel and alloy steel fasteners, including bolts, screws, and threaded rods. Grades such as 10.9 and 12.9 are considered high-strength fasteners, widely used in mechanical engineering, automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial applications where superior tensile strength and toughness are required.

Key Points of ISO 898-1 Threaded Rods:

Application: Commonly used in automotive manufacturing, machinery, construction, wind energy, and other heavy-duty applications requiring high tensile and yield strength.

Materials: Typically made from medium-carbon steel or alloy steel, quenched and tempered to achieve high strength.

Grades: ISO 898-1 covers multiple property classes (4.6, 8.8, 10.9, 12.9, etc.), among which Grade 10.9 and Grade 12.9 represent the strongest categories.

Testing Requirements: Fasteners must pass mechanical property tests including tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, and impact resistance to ensure safety and durability.


01
ISO 898-1 Grade 10.9 Threaded Rod
Material: Alloy steel, quenched and tempered.
Tensile Strength: Minimum 1040 MPa.
Yield Strength: Minimum 940 MPa.
Applications: Widely used in automotive parts, construction equipment, and heavy machinery where high load-bearing capacity is required.
Temperature Range: Suitable for service up to about 300°C.

Properties:
High tensile strength with excellent toughness.
Good fatigue resistance for dynamic load applications.
Cost-effective option compared to Grade 12.9 while still offering strong performance.
02
ISO 898-1 Grade 12.9 Threaded Rod
Material: Alloy steel, quenched and tempered, with higher alloy content compared to 10.9.
Tensile Strength: Minimum 1220 MPa.
Yield Strength: Minimum 1100 MPa.
Applications: Critical fastening in aerospace, automotive (engine components), heavy machinery, and tooling where maximum strength is essential.
Temperature Range: Typically used up to 300°C.
Properties:
Superior strength and hardness compared to Grade 10.9.
Excellent performance under extreme stress conditions.
Less ductile than lower grades; more brittle in some environments.
