Materials for the manufacture of DIN 653 screws
DIN 653 screws are made of the following materials:
- Steel, which can optionally be coated with zinc. Zinc (Plated) protects against corrosion if the fastener is to be used in aggressive environments
- Stainless steel, grade A1. Allows the use of fasteners at significant temperature changes and in aggressive and humid environments.
Areas of application for DIN 653 screws
