Property of Robert Bosch GmbH Parts order specification N38A
Screws of strength classes SR2.2
8.8, 10.9 and 12.9

Teile–Bestellvorschrift; Schrauben der Festigkeitklassen 8. 8, 10.9 und 12.9

In case of doubt apply the German version of this Bosch Norm.

In keeping with practice in public standards, a comma has been used throughout as the decimal marker.

This order specification is based on DIN EN ISO 898–1 (edition 11.99) and VDA 235–201 (edition 03.99).

1 Scope and purpose

This order specification applies to screws and similar threaded parts (including set screws with tensile stress
and specified strength classes)
– with coarse pitch thread M1,6 up to M39 and fine pitch thread M8x1 up to M39x3
– with ISO threads in accord. with ISO 68
– with diameter–pitch–combinations in accord. with ISO 261 and ISO 262
– with thread tolerances in accord. with ISO 965 –1 and ISO 965–2
– made of unalloyed or alloyed steel.

Use of these screws:

– For cyclic 1) and/or static load as well as for torque–angle controlled or yield–controlled tightening.
Eigentum der Robert Bosch GmbH

– For use below –40 °C and above +150 °C observe that material properties depend on temperature.

This order specification does not apply to set screws and similar fasteners with threads, not subjected to tensile
stress (see ISO 898–5). Additionally it does not determine requirements on properties as
– weldability,
– corrosion resistance 2)
– thermal strength above +150 °C or toughness at subzero temperatures below –50 °C.
– shear strength or
– fatigue strength 1).
The order specification is not valid for screws of preheated steel wire (see N38A SR4.3) and for screws with
specific manufacturing methods (e.g. end–rolled screws, see N38A SR4.2).
When ordering 10.9 screws no 10.9 screws in accord. with DIN EN ISO 898–1 must be delivered.
Screws of strength classes 4.8, 5.6 and 5.8 shall be ordered in accord. with N38A SR2.1.

1) See N33... (in preparation), assure minimum fatigue limit in accord. with VDI 2230.
2) For screws with surface coating (electroplating or similar) N38A SR1 is also applicable.

2 Designation system and designation used in drawing

2.1 Designation system
The designation system for strength classes of screws see table 1 of DIN EN ISO 898–1.
The marking of strength classes consists of two digits (for example 8.8):
– the first digit gives the 1/100 nominal tensile strength in N/mm2 (see 5.1 in table 3)
– the second digit gives 10 times the ratio of the lower yield point ReL (or 0,2% proof strength Rp0.2) compared
to the nominal tensile strength Rm,nominal (yield point ratio).
Multiplying both digit gives 1/10 of the yield point in N/mm2.
The minimum value of the lower yield point ReL,min (or the minimum value of the 0,2% proof strength Rp0.2,
min) and the minimum tensile strength Rm, min are equal or higher than the nominal values.
2.2 Designation in the drawing
When referring to this order specification add the defined strength classes in accord. with DIN EN ISO 898–1
together with Bosch–Norm “N38A SR2.2” . Example: “N38A SR2.2–8.8”.

3 Delivery condition, dimensions and quality

3.1 Delivery condition
Screws compacted, threads rolled, quenched and tempered. Deviating screws, e.g. turned or cut threads and
transition radii under head have shorter service life and are therefore only permitted with corresponding indica-
tion in drawing or order of product developing department.
Surface protection, unless otherwise specified: blackened (thermal or chemical).

3.2 Dimensions and quality

3.2.1 Threads
Metric thread in accord. with DIN 13 Part 1 through 25 with tolerance class 6g in product grade A in accord.
with DIN EN ISO 4759–1.
3.2.2 Other dimensions and surface roughness
Product grade A in accord. with DIN EN ISO 4759–1 and DIN 267–2, unless otherwise specified in drawing
and/or order.

4 Materials
4.1 Base materials
Table 1 contains mandatory indications on base materials and minimum tempering and test temperatures.
To achieve the indicated strength classes materials with higher strength classes may be used, if the screws fulfill all require-
ments of the respective strength class.
Not permitted are steels, for which the desired properties, in particular hardenability and ductility, could be impaired by
intended or unintended addition of elements not listed in the table.
Determination of chemical composition in accord. with the pertinent ISO standards.

2) To 12.9 screw it applies that exposed layer areas subject to tensile stress must not have higher content of P and N than
the core.
3) Screws with strength classes 8.8, 9.8, 10.9 and 12.9 must be quenched and tempered. The quenched and tempered
grain structure must be homogeneous, fine–grained and ferrite–free. It must be assured that in hardened condition the
martensite percentage even in the core remains min. 90 %.
To achieve the mandatory properties observing the specified minimum tempering temperatures all material shall have
the indicated Mn–content. Alloyed materials shall additionally be alloyed with one ore several elements, depending on
the nominal diameter (thread∅) and strength classes of the screws which shall be manufactured: chromium, nickel, mo-
lybdenum or vanadium. Sum of all alloying elements must at least reach the value 〈∑) of the table.
4) Content of boron may reach 0,005 %, if the inactive boron is controlled through additives as titanium and/or aluminum.
5) This strength class is not used in Europe. Only applicable in special cases.

4.2 Material suggestions for in–house manufacturing

Table 2 contains material suggestions for screws and threaded parts manufactured in–house by metal–cutting
and which are intended for quenching and tempering. Further heat–treatable steels are filed in the material data

2) Relative to nominal loaded cross–section (see DIN EN ISO 898–1); fraction in the free threaded part or shank, but not
under the head. The min. tensile strengths are valid for screws with nominal lengths l  2,5d. The minimum hardness
values are valid for screws with nominal lengths l  2,5d and for such products, which cannot be subjected to tension
test (e.g. due to form of head). For tests at complete screws it is necessary that the fractional forces used to calculate
Rm correspond to the values of table 6 and 7.
3) Hardness values determined at head, shank or cap of the screw, eventually in the cross section 1d away from screw
end. (For measurements at shank: subsequent scrapping of screw!)
4) Determination of elongation after fraction additionally to determination of reduction of area not required.

6) ISO U–bending test method (accord. to ISO/R83) drilled, machine rubbed and cut. Usually the minimum values are
increased by 2/3 compared to the specified minimal values. Minimal values for DVMK–test pieces  0,4 times the above
values of ISO U–bending.
7) See also figure and further indications of sect 8.7.1.5.
8) For fine pitch thread E = 5/6 H1

9) Carburizing not permitted in the thread below pitch diameter, at the shank and between shank and head. Surface hard-
ness max 30 HV 0,3 higher than in the core.
10) The ratio for the limits of elasticity corresponding to the designation of the strength class and the minimum tension at
the 0,2%–proof strength Rp0,2 are valid for pieces machined by metal–cutting. When testing complete screws these
values vary due to production procedures and size effects.
11) The plastic elongation in the thread is determined with tension test at complete screws, see sect 8.2. In practical opera-
tion the above values depend on dimension and thread length.
*) Tested in accord. with sect 8.3.
**) Value will be determined and included lateron.

6 Mechanical properties to be determined

For testing the mechanical properties of screws table 5 contains two test programs, A and B, based on the test
method described in sect 8. Independently of the chosen test program all requirements of table 3 must be
fulfilled.

– For initial sample testing and in case of claims all test programs must be performed.
– For approved suppliers an inspection feature may be defined (test feature).

of basic metal (E) and depth of complete decarburized zone (G), if existing, lay within defined limits (see figure
4).
Maximum value of G and formula for minimum value of E are defined in table 3.
8.7.1 Terms
8.7.1.1 Hardness of base metal
Hardness near the exposed layer between core and outside diameter immediately before appearance of an
increase or decrease, indicating carburization or decarburization.
8.7.1.2 Decarburization
Generally, reduction of carbon content in the exposed layer of commercially available ferrous materials (steels)
8.7.1.3 Partially decarburization (partial decarburization)
Decarburization, where reduction of carbon content leads to clearer shadow of the annealed martensite and
significantly lower hardness compared to the basic metal. However, this happens without showing ferrrite grains
under metallographic inspection.
8.7.1.4 Complete decarburization (total decarburization)
Decarburization, where reduction of carbon content is significant enough to show pure ferritic structure under
metallographic inspection.

8.8 Re–tempering test

The mean values must not differ by more than 20 Vicker’s values after three core hardness measurements
of a screw, each measurement before and after re–tempering with a temperature of 10 °C below the specified
min. tempering temperature and a holding time of 30 minutes.

8.9 Testing of surface condition

For testing the surface condition half the standard values of ISO 6157–1 apply or ISO 6157–3 respectively.
The test program A requires that the test of the surface condition is performed before the samples are turned
off on the lathe.

9 Identification
Mechanical fasteners, produced in accordance with the requirements of this Bosch–Norm are to be identified
in accordance with DIN EN ISO 898–1 or by arrangement.

9.1 Identification of packaging
