DIN 988 | steel | spring steel | bright | Cr(VI) - free
Surface (VZD): galvanized, thick-film passivated, min. 5µm | corrosion resistance to DIN EN ISO 9227*: white rust 72h, red rust 144h | defined coefficient of friction µ(total) = 0.12 - 0.18 for elements with a nominal tensile strength ≥ 800 MPa
*The verification of the mentioned minimum requirements is carried out according to the test conditions of DIN EN ISO 4042, galvanic coatings for fasteners. For dimensions < M5, the above values may deviate downwards.
