ÖNORM EN ISO 3506-3

This patt of ISO 3506 specifies the mechanical proper-Ges of set screws and similar fasteners not under tensile stress made of austenitic stainless steel when tested over an ambient temperature range of 15 C to 25 C. Propet-ties will vary at higher or lower temperatures. It applies to set screws and similar fasteners with nominal thread diameters (d) fram i,6 mm up to and including 24 mm; of triangular ISO metric threads with diameters and pitches according to ISO 68-1, ISO 261 and ISO 262; of any shape. It does not apply to screws with special properties such as weldability. This patt of ISO 3506 does not define corrosion or Oxidation resistance in particular environments. The aim of this part sf ISO 3506 is a classification into property classes of corrosion resistant stainless steel fasteners. Corrosion and Oxidation performances and mechanical properties for use at elevated or sub-zero temperatures must be the subject of agreement between user and manufacturer in each particular case. Annex D Shows how the risk of intergranular corrosion at elevated temperatures depends on the carbon content. All austenitic stainless steel fasteners are normally non-magnetic in the annealed condtition; after cold working, some magnetic proper-Ges may be evident (see annex E).
