Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does the A2-70 designation mean?

A2 refers to the grade of stainless steel (similar to 304), and 70 indicates the tensile strength of the fastener.

Are these screws suitable for saltwater environments?

While A2 stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance, it is generally recommended to use A4 (316) grade stainless steel for direct exposure to marine or saltwater environments.

Can I use these for structural automotive parts?

Yes, provided the thread size and grade meet the specific mechanical requirements of the automotive application as defined by the manufacturer.

What tool do I need to tighten these screws?

You will need a standard hex key or Allen wrench that matches the diameter of the internal socket head.

Are these screws reusable?

If they have not been over-torqued, stretched, or suffered thread damage, they can generally be reused.

Troubleshooting

Hex key spinning inside the screw head

The screw head socket is likely stripped; use a bolt extractor or try a slightly larger spline tool to gain purchase.

Screw is difficult to turn during installation

Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris. Back the screw out, check the tap hole for thread damage, and re-insert carefully to avoid cross-threading.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor or damp environments
  • Easy installation with standard hex key tools
  • High-strength material profile ensures durability under stress
  • Compliance with DIN 912 ensures reliable, repeatable results

Cons

  • Requires specific hex keys for installation
  • Limited to environments where stainless steel is compatible with base metals to avoid galvanic corrosion
  • May require pre-drilling or tapping in dense materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your pilot holes are properly tapped to the matching thread size. Use a high-quality hex key of the appropriate size to avoid 'rounding out' the inner socket of the screw head. Do not over-tighten, as stainless steel can be prone to seizing under extreme pressure; applying a small amount of anti-seize lubricant to the threads is recommended for applications involving frequent disassembly. When cleaning, use mild detergents and avoid harsh acidic chemicals that could compromise the passive oxide layer of the stainless steel.
