Bigboltnut specialises in producing high-strength industrial fasteners that match international specifications. Our ISO 898-1 Class 8.8 bolts are designed for maximum durability, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications in the construction, automotive, and engineering industries.
They come as ISO 898-1 Class 8.8 made from medium-carbon steel with heat treating that gives strength and great durability in extreme working conditions.
At Bigboltnut, we test every bolt to assure quality, ensuring they will perform well in heavy-duty applications.
These bolts are suited for industrial and structural applications due to their hardness grade of 8.8. These fasteners have a tensile strength of about 800 MPa and a grade 8.8 bolt yield strength (MPa) of at least 640 MPa, assuring long-term performance.
Bolts of hardness class 8.8 are meant to be extremely long-lasting. They are perfect for equipment, steel structures, and critical applications needing accuracy and dependability because of their exceptional tensile strength and resistance to wear.
For clients looking for ISO 898-1 comparable material, our Bigboltnut fasteners meet global criteria like ASTM A325, DIN 933, and EN 15048. These equivalents provide compliance with worldwide engineering and industrial standards, allowing for greater flexibility across projects.
The 8.8 grade bolt specification provides a variety of designs and coatings to improve performance.
- The types available are hex bolts, socket head bolts, and countersunk bolts.
- The coatings consist of zinc plating, hot-dip galvanisation, and black oxide, which serve to protect against corrosion.
- Available in both custom and standard dimensions for different applications.
Bigboltnut is dedicated to manufacturing high-quality fasteners utilising precision engineering and rigorous quality assurance processes. This outlines the reasons for customer trust in our organisation.
Our bolts achieve or exceed the ISO 898-1 Class 8.8 standards, ensuring high strength and durability for optimal performance.
- Construction and Infrastructure: Bridges, highways, and steel frames
- Automotive & Heavy Machinery: Engine components, machine assembly
- The Energy Sector: Power plants, wind farms, and industrial developments.
- Railways and Transportation: High-load applications that require high strength
Bigboltnut, a company that has been a leading manufacturer of industrial fasteners for decades, is the perfect choice for high-quality ISO 898-1 Class 8.8 bolts. We can make it to your specific requirements, be they standard specifications or custom-engineered solutions.
The Grade 8.8 Bolts, screws, and studs with specified property classes — coarse thread and fine pitch thread
The ISO 898-1:2013 Grade 8.8 specification covers carbon steel bolts and studs ranging from M-6 to M-64 diameter. We use high carbon steel material and high alloy steel raw materials to achieve the required properties in grade 8.8 standard. There are three popular grades in this standard, 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 which denote material hardness strength and their respective mechanical properties.
