Mill Test Certificates (MTC), strict dimensional tolerances, and fast dispatch from ready stock.
Stainless Steel Hex Screw
Key Specifications
Choosing the Right Stainless Steel Hex Screw
1) Environment & corrosion
- Indoors/general outdoor → A2 (304)
- Marine/chemical/chloride exposure → A4 (316)
2) Joint type
- Clamp joints (full nut engagement) → Full thread (DIN 933 / ISO 4017)
- Shear/bending with unthreaded shear plane → Partial thread (DIN 931 / ISO 4014)
3) Strength
- General purpose → A2-70 / A4-70
- Higher clamp load or critical joints → A4-80
4) Thread form
- Default metric coarse (better galling resistance)
- Metric fine/UNC/UNF → when finer adjustment or compatibility with mating parts is required
5) Pairing hardware
- Use matching grade nuts (e.g., A4-80 with A4-80/A4-70 nut as per design) and washers (A2/A4)
- Consider spring/lock washers or prevailing-torque nuts where vibration is present
Mechanical Properties (Guide)
A2-70 / A4-70: minimum tensile strength 700 MPa; typical proof strength 450 MPa.
A4-80: minimum tensile strength 800 MPa; typical proof strength 600 MPa.
Select A4 (316) or A4-80 for marine, chemical, and chloride-rich environments where pitting resistance and/or higher strength are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
DIN 934 and ISO 4032 are both standards for standard hex nuts.
For most common sizes (M5–M20), dimensions are very similar and generally interchangeable in typical applications.
ISO 4032 is the modern international standard, while DIN 934 is the older German standard that many people still use in practice.
A2 (304) → For indoor, general outdoor, and mildly corrosive environments.
A4 (316) → For marine, coastal, chemical, or chloride-rich environments where corrosion resistance must be higher.
If you’re near the sea, using chemicals, or see pitting / rust in A2, switch to A4.
Always match or exceed the bolt’s property class: With A2-70 / A4-70 bolts → use A2-70 or A4-70 nuts (same family & environment).
With A4-80 bolts → use A4-80 nuts (or as specified by the design).
Rule of thumb: Nut grade ≥ bolt grade in the same material family.
Standard hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) Full height, designed to take the full load of the joint.
Thin / jam nut (ISO 4035 / DIN 439)
Lower height, used mainly as a lock nut against a standard nut or where space is limited.
Not recommended as the only nut in heavily loaded structural joints.
A2 / A4 stainless is nominally non-magnetic, but:
Due to cold working (thread rolling, forming) and manufacturing, a slight magnetism is common.
Light magnetism is normal and does not necessarily mean the material is not stainless.
