Round head screws square without nuts DIN 603-stainless A2 M16x160mm

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".

Square head on screws: Prevents the screw from turning further in wood or in metal profiles designed for this purpose. Square nuts are used as insert nuts in injection-moulded parts or are inserted into housing profiles (extruded aluminium profiles) to provide a threaded surface for screwing other parts onto them.

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.
