Description An externally threaded fastener with unified threads, a cylindrical head with flat chamfered top surface, knurled cylindrical sides and hexagonal recess, made from alloy steel.
Applications/
Advantages
Ideal for precision assembly work with close tolerances and applications needing a well tooled appearance. Supplies greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade-5 or Grade-8 hex head cap screws while requiring less surface area or counterbore since the fastener is internally wrenched.
Material Cap Screws shall be made from an alloy steel which conforms to the following chemical composition requirements (per product analysis) - Carbon: 0.31% minimum, Phosphorus: 0.04% maximum, Sulfur: 0.045% maximum, Also one or more of the following elements shall be presentin sufficient quantity to meet the strength requirements listerd below: chromuim, nickel, molybdenum or vanadium.
Heat Treatment Cap Screws shall be heat treated by oil quenching from above the transformation temperature and then tempered at a temperature not lower than 650° F
Hardness 0 thru 1/2 diameters: Rockwell C39 minimum, 5/8 diametyer and larger: Rockwell C37 minimum.
Tensile Strength 0 thru 1/2 diameters: 180,000 psi minimum, 5/8 diameter and larger: 170,000 psi minimum
Yield Strength 0 thru 1/2 diameters: 162,000 psi minimum, 5/8 diameter and larger: 153,000 psi minimum
Elongation 10% minimum (applies to machined specimens of length at least 4D where D equals the normal screw diameter)
Reduction of Area 33% minimum (applies to machined specimens)
