PanHead screws CR Z DIN 7985-stainless A2 M5x18mm

A further development of Form H are Pozidriv (PZ) screws, standardized in ISO 8764 (blades) and DIN 7962 (Phillips). With the Pozidriv screws, the flanks of the screw head run parallel to each other in the depth of the screw head. Due to the more precise fit, the direction of force is precisely determined and higher torques are possible because the cam-out effect is prevented.

Austenitic stainless steels derive their different strength grades from cold working to varying degrees. The number 80 following the grade designation indicates the tensile strength as one-tenth for bolts. A bolt in strength class 70 therefore has a tensile strength of 700 N/mm². For nuts, the number 70 indicates a stress under test load of 700 N/mm².

Stainless steel refers to alloyed or unalloyed steels that contain at least 10.5% chromium and less than 1.2% carbon. Colloquially, stainless steel is also referred to as stainless steel (NiRo), although not all stainless steel is the same as "stainless".

Stainless steels are defined in DIN EN 10088-1 as iron alloys containing at least 10.5 per cent chromium and no more than 1.2 per cent carbon. The multi-part DIN EN ISO 3506 series of standards applies to mechanical fasteners made from stainless steels. Grade A2 is classified as non-acid-resistant. Austenitic stainless steels cannot be heat-treated and achieve their different strength classes through cold working to varying degrees.
