 Introduction

The BAPP Group of Companies founded in 1972 has now

become the largest independent stockist and distributor of

industrial fasteners and associated products in the UK.

The BAPP branch network covers total supply throughout the

UK from our twelve locations. As well as same and next day

delivery to our OEM customer base, each branch has it’s own

Tool and Fixing centre.

The BAPP Export Division located at group head office

has vast experience in shipping throughout the world

and can cater to any demands for both major and small

construction projects.

The property class symbols, indicating the most important mechanical properties,
M33 33 46.5 57.8 50 21 72 78 Property class Lower yield stress Rel or proof stress Rp0,2 N/mm2
consist of two figures, one on either side of a dot.For example,10.9. The first figure
M36 36 50.1 63.5 55 22.5 78 84 indicates 1/100 of the nominal tensile strength in N/mm2 (see Rm in the table). 5.6 300 270 230 215 195
So property class 10.9 has a tensile strength of 10 x 100 = 1000 N/mm2. The second
M39 39 53.9 69.3 60 25 84 90 figure indicates 10 times the ratio between lower yield stress Rel (or proof stress Rp0,2) 8.8 640 590 540 510 480
and nominal tensile strength Rm (yield stress ratio). So at property class 10.9 the second
M42 42 57.7 75 65 26 90 96 900 10.9 940 875 790 745 705
figure 9 = 10 x 1000 The multiplication of these two figures will give 1/10 of the yield
M45 45 61.50 80.8 70 28 96 102 stress in N/MM2, SO 10 X 9 = 1/10 X 900 N/mm2. 12.9 1100 1020 925 875 825

Minimum hardness is mandatory only for heat-treated nuts and nuts too large to be proof-load tested. For all other nuts minimum hardness is provided for guidance only. 1) for nuts ISO 4032 (type 1), 2) for nuts ISO 4033 (type 2)
Hardness values for nominal sizes over 39 up to and including 100mm are to be used for guidance only.

Corrosion Protection Coatings
Corrosion mainly affects the durability of fasteners, (i.e. their lasting strength, appearance
and ease of dismantling) and may be caused by exposure to a particular environment
during service. Depending upon the environmental condition one of the following coatings
or finishes is recommended to enhance the life of fasteners.
Zinc plating - BS 3382 Part 2, DIN267 Part 9, ISO 4042 If electro-galvanizing is chosen for high quality fasteners there is a concious risk of fractures as a result of
Usually bright finish on steel screws. Used for short term protection of all steel
fasteners. Satisfactory for standard threads.
Hot dip zinc (galvanising) - BS 729 Part 1, DIN267 Part 10, ISO 1461
DACROMET® 500 LC
Fasteners are subject to ever-increasing demands with regard to their reliability and resistance to corrosion.
These stringent requirements present serious dilemmas for you. On one hand, strict reliability requirements
mean that you are forced to use high quality fasteners (quality class 10.9 and higher). On the other hand, these
fasteners are expected to have the same minimum corrosion resistant properties as the other parts of the product.
Until recently your choice was restricted to less reliable solutions.
Surface Coatings
hydrogen embrittlement. If you choose a more reliable surface coating such as thermal galvanizing of screw
threaded products, you are not only restricted in terms of dimensions but also in terms of the fit of the internal
and external screw thread. In order to carry out thermal galvanizing of relatively thick layers of zinc, some
material has to be removed before galvanization. This means that the flank covering between the internal and
external screw thread is lower which has negative consequences on the load capacity.

Heavy zinc deposits 43 microns minimum on steel for long term outdoor protection.
Uneven coating unsuitable for many small diameter threaded parts.
Sherardizing BS4921 Class 1
Sherardizing is a diffusion process in which particles are heated in the presence of zinc dust.
The process is normally carried out in a slowly rotating closed container at temperatures
ranging from 320-500 degrees centigrade.
However if you specifically choose electroplating of a zinc coating and you want to suppress completely risk
as a result of hydrogen embrittlement, then the choice of high quality fasteners is out of the question. In this
case you will have to rely on lower quality fasteners with greater dimensions as a result. The new DACROMET®
500 LC Grade A non electrolytically applied surface coating eliminates all of these restrictive and high risk
considerations.

The resultant zinc/iron alloyed coating is subsequently zinc phosphated or chromated,

resulting in a clean, passivated, matt grey surface. The coating closely follows the contours of
the base material and uniform coatings are produced on articles, including those of intricate
shapes. Carbon steels, low alloy steels sintered steels, malleable grey iron and cast iron are
suitable for sherardizing. The process does not give rise to hydrogen embrittlement.

Sherardizing benefits include:

• Long Term Corrosion Protection

15
• Coating thickness range available 15-80µm
• Salt spray resistance
Sherardizing - 96 hours
Sherardizing 2000 - 500 hours
• Damage resistant
