Fasteners - Mechanical properties of fasteners made of carbon steel and alloy steel - Part 2: Nuts with specified property classes (ISO 898-2:2022)

This document specifies the mechanical and physical properties of nuts made of non-alloy steel or alloy
steel, when tested at the ambient temperature range of 10 °C to 35 °C.
This document applies to nuts:
— with ISO metric thread (see ISO 68-1),
— with diameter/pitch combinations according to ISO 261 and ISO 262,
— with coarse pitch thread M5 to M39, and fine pitch thread M8×1 to M39×3,
— with thread tolerances according to ISO 965-1, ISO 965-2 or ISO 965-5,
— with specified property classes 04, 05, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 including proof load,
— of three different nut styles (see 5.1): regular nuts (style 1), high nuts (style 2) and thin nuts (style 0),
— with a minimum outside diameter or width across flats s ≥ 1,45D,
— able to mate with bolts, screws and studs with property classes in accordance with ISO 898-1 (see
Annex B), and
— intended to be used in applications ranging from –50 °C to +150 °C, or up to +300 °C.
WARNING — Nuts conforming to the requirements of this document are tested at the ambient
temperature range of 10 °C to 35 °C and are used in applications ranging from –50 °C to +150 °C;
however, these nuts are also used outside this range and up to +300 °C for specific applications.
It is possible that they do not retain the specified mechanical and physical properties at lower
and/or elevated temperatures. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the user to determine the
appropriate choices based on the service environment conditions of the assembly (see also 7.1).
For additional specifications applicable to hot dip galvanized nuts, see ISO 10684.
For nuts designed for particular applications, see ISO/TR 16224.
This document does not specify requirements for functional properties such as:
— prevailing torque properties (see ISO 2320),
— torque/clamp force properties (see ISO 16047 for test method),
— weldability, or
— corrosion resistance.

ISO 898-2:2022(E)
Introduction
ISO 898, the basic standard for fasteners with ISO metric thread made of carbon steel and alloy steel,
was developed in several parts, and includes diameters 5 mm to 39 mm only for nuts. Property classes
are specified in the ISO 898 series in relation to materials and mechanical properties, so that nuts in
accordance with ISO 898-2 are matching with bolts, screws and studs specified in ISO 898-1 and with
flat washers specified in ISO 898-3, as necessary, in order to design suitable assemblies for a given
application.
More parts are under development for bolts, screws, studs and nuts with sizes above 39 mm.
The nuts specified in this document result from the adequate combination of nut heights (regular,
style 1 – high, style 2 – thin, style 0), diameter ranges, coarse or fine pitch thread, and property classes
in relation to heat treatment (Non-Quenched and Tempered = NQT, or Quenched and Tempered = QT).
These combinations are based on bolt/nut compatibility, manufacturing processes and market needs.
If other combinations are needed, e.g. for nuts designed for particular applications, see ISO/TR 16224.
In order to assure the necessary material strength in relation to property classes:
— Quenched and Tempered nuts (QT) are specified with a minimum carbon content and a minimum
tempering temperature, and are characterized by a homogeneous martensitic structure;
— Non-Quenched and Tempered nuts (NQT) are also specified with a minimum carbon content but are
characterized by a non-quenched microstructure.
Some property classes (in relation to nut style, diameter and coarse or fine pitch thread) specified as
NQT may be optionally quenched and tempered as specified in 7.2, and in this case all requirements for
QT nuts apply.
For fully loadable non-standard nuts which are to meet the requirements of this document, the relevant
style 1 or style 2 is assigned in relation to their minimum design thread height.
Nut loadability is primarily checked by proof load. For nuts with coarse pitch thread and property
classes 6 and 8, proof load values have been raised for sizes M27 to M39 due to the latest calculations of
[20] [21]
Masaya Hagiwara in accordance with the Alexander's theory , see ISO/TR 16224. For those nuts
it was necessary to develop full strength in relation to the mating bolts, screws and studs specified in
ISO 898-1, the difference between the proof loads of ISO 898-2:2012 and the recalculated values being
more than 5 % (see Annex C).
The Vickers hardness values specified for each individual group (consisting of property class, style,
diameter range and pitch) have been chosen according to the same latest calculations, but adjusted to
conventional figures taken over from the former versions of Parts 2 and 6 which were merged in 2012.
ISO 18265 presents no hardness to tensile strength correlation for steel in work hardened condition,
which is typical for cold forged high volume NQT nuts: therefore, minimum hardness is just informative
for NQT nuts and does not constitute a criterion in case of dispute. The maximum hardness of 334 HV is
specified in order to prevent unexpected manufacturing processes which can lead to brittle behaviour
of the NQT nuts: this limit is therefore mandatory and valid in case of dispute. However, it should be
noted that work hardening is usually not severe enough to reach 302 HV when typical material and
forging processes are used; nevertheless, inappropriate hardness testing or scattering due to just local
properties is also covered by this specified limit of 334 HV.
Due to missing or decreasing market needs, nuts of property class 5 with fine pitch thread in style 1
and nuts of property class 9 were deleted (property class 5 or 9 can be substituted by property class 6
or 10 respectively).

ISO/DIS 898-2:2021(E)

Introduction
ISO 898, the basic standard for fasteners with ISO metric thread made of carbon steel and alloy steel,
was developed in several parts for diameters 5 mm to 39 mm. Property classes are specified in the
ISO 898 series in relation to materials and mechanical properties, so that nuts in accordance with
ISO 898-2 are matching with bolts, screws and studs specified in ISO 898-1 and with flat washers
specified in ISO 898-3, as necessary, in order to design suiTable assemblies for a given application.
More parts will be developed in the future for bolts, screws, studs and nuts with sizes above 39 mm.
In order to assure the necessary material strength in relation to property classes:
— Quenched and Tempered nuts (QT) are specified with a minimum carbon content and a minimum
tempering temperature, are characterized by a homogeneous martensitic structure;
— Non-Quenched and Tempered nuts (NQT) are also specified with a minimum carbon content but are
characterized by a non-quenched microstructure.
Some property classes (in relation to nut style, diameter and coarse or fine pitch thread) specified as
NQT may be optionally quenched and tempered as specified in 7.2, and in this case all requirements for
QT nuts apply.
For fully loadable non-standard nuts which are to meet the requirements of this document, the relevant
style 1 or style 2 is assigned in relation to their minimum design thread height.
Nut loadability is primarily checked by proof load. For nuts with coarse pitch thread and property
classes 6 and 8, proof load values have been raised for sizes M27 to M39 due to the latest calculations
of Masaya Hagiwara [20] in accordance with the Alexander's theory [21], see ISO/TR 16224. For those
nuts it was necessary to develop full strength in relation to the mating bolts, screws and studs specified
in ISO 898-1, the difference between the proof loads of ISO 898-2:2012 and the recalculated values
being more than 5 % (see Annex C).
The Vickers hardness values specified for each individual group (consisting of property class, style,
pitch and diameter ranges) have been chosen according to the same latest calculations, but adjusted to
conventional figures taken over from the former versions of Parts 2 and 6 which were merged in 2012.
ISO 18265 presents no hardness to tensile strength correlation for steel in work hardened condition,
which is typical for cold forged high volume NQT nuts: therefore, minimum hardness is just informative
for NQT nuts and does not constitute a criterion in case of dispute. The maximum hardness of 334 HV
is specified in order to prevent unexpected manufacturing processes which can lead to brittle behavior
of the NQT nuts: this limit is therefore mandatory and valid in case of dispute. However, it should be
noted that work hardening is usually not severe enough to reach 302 HV when typical material and
forging processes are used; nevertheless, inappropriate hardness testing or scattering due to just local
properties is also covered by this specified limit of 334 HV.
Due to missing or decreasing market needs, nuts of property class 5 with fine pitch thread in style 1
and nuts of property class 9 with coarse pitch thread in style 2 were deleted (property class 5 or 9 can
be substituted by property class 6 or 10 respectively).
Nuts of property class 10 with fine pitch thread in style 1 for diameters 18 mm to 39 mm were deleted
but though, nuts of property class 12 with fine pitch thread in style 2 have been added for diameters
18 mm to 39 mm.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 898-2:2021(E)
Fasteners — Mechanical properties of fasteners made of
carbon steel and alloy steel —
Part 2:
Nuts with specified property classes
1 Scope
This document specifies the mechanical and physical properties of nuts made of non-alloy steel or alloy
steel, for three different nut styles in accordance with 5.1:
— regular nuts (style 1),
— high nuts (style 2),
— thin nuts (style 0),
in combination with:
— coarse pitch thread M5 ≤ D ≤ M39, and fine pitch thread 8 mm ≤ D ≤ 39 mm,
— specified property classes 04, 05, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 including proof loads,
and able to be mated with bolts, screws and studs with property classes in accordance with ISO 898-1.
These combinations are based on bolt/nut compatibility, manufacturing processes and market needs.
If other combinations are needed, e.g. for nuts designed for particular applications, see ISO/TR 16224.
Nuts conforming to the requirements of this document are tested at the ambient temperature range of
10 °C to 35 °C. It is possible that they do not retain the specified mechanical and physical properties at
elevated and/or lower temperatures.
NOTE 1 Nuts conforming to the requirements of this document are used in applications ranging from –50 °C to
+150 °C, however these nuts are also used outside this range and up to +300 °C for specific applications. It is the
responsibility of the user to determine the appropriate choice, and consulting an experienced fastener materials
expert is recommended outside the range of –50 °C to +150 °C (several factors need to be taken into account,
e.g. steel composition, duration of exposure at elevated or low temperature, the effect of the temperature on the
fastener mechanical properties and clamped parts).
NOTE 2 Information for the selection and application of steels for use at lower and elevated temperatures is
given for instance in EN 10269, ASTM A320/A320M and ASTM A194/A194M.
This document applies to the nuts specified above, with:
— triangular ISO metric thread in accordance with ISO 68-1,
— diameter/pitch combinations in accordance with ISO 261 and ISO 262,
— thread tolerances in accordance with ISO 965-1, ISO 965-2 or ISO 965-5, and
— minimum outside diameter or width across flats s ≥ 1,45D (see Annex B).
For hot dip galvanized nuts, additional requirements are specified in ISO 10684.
This document does not specify requirements for functional properties such as:
— prevailing torque properties (see ISO 2320),
