The designation system allows the determination of the ultimate and yield/proof strength of the bolt. The designation system is based on two numbers e.g 8.8 . The first number is the tensile strength of the bolt material (N2 )/100. The second number is = 1/100.(the ratio of the Proof (or Yield ) stress and the Tensile strength expressed as a percentage = 100.[Yield (Proof stress) /Tensile strength] /100 The tensile and proof strength of the steel for a 4.6 bolt is therefore calculated as follows Tensile strength (Rm) = 4.100 N/mm2 = 400 N/mm2 .... Proof strength (R0,2) = 0,6*400 * 100 /100 = 240 N/mm2

Tensile and Proof Stress Of Metric Bolts and Screws. (Stainless Steel ) Stainless steels include Austenitic, Martensitic and Ferritic.. Austenitic stainless steels.. Chromium nickel steels which can be cold worked. Non magnetic. Associated grades ( Steel Number according to BS EN 10088 pt 1) = A1 (1.4305) , A2 (1.4301) ,A3 (1.4541) , A4 (1.4401) and A5 (1.4571). Martensitic stainless steels .. Limited corrosion resistance but can be heat treated for superior strength properties. Magnetic Properties. Associated grades ( Steel Number according to BS EN 10088 pt 1) = C1 (1.4006 etc) , C3 (1.4057), C4(1.4104) Ferritic stainless steels .. Plain chromium stainless steels with a chromium content varying between 10.5 and 18% and a low carbon content. They not hardenable by heat treatment. Ferritic alloys have good ductility and formability but a relatively poor high temperature strength compared austenitic grades. Magnetic..
