The standard covers the dimensional form of the bolt, including the hex head, threaded portion and plain shank, so that the fastener can be selected consistently by diameter, length and thread. The partially threaded design is useful where the smooth shank should pass through the joint to improve alignment and carry shear loads, while the threaded section provides the clamping force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis selected size is specified with diameter M20, length 60 mm, thread M20, pitch 2.5 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold in multiples of '10 pieces. 1 Box = '10 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterial, Grade \u0026amp; Strength\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA2 stainless steel, commonly associated with 304 stainless, provides good general corrosion resistance for outdoor, clean industrial and food-related environments. A2 stainless is often chosen where rust resistance is more important than the higher tensile strength of carbon steel grades. Stainless fasteners can gall during tightening, so suitable anti-seize or lubrication may be required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFinish \u0026amp; Corrosion Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStainless products rely on the corrosion resistance of the stainless material itself rather than a separate plated coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTypical Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDIN 931 bolts are commonly used in machinery, fabricated steelwork, mining equipment, agricultural equipment, brackets, frames and maintenance work where a strong partially threaded bolt is preferred over a fully threaded set screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a matching nut and washer of the same thread size and suitable strength class.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere possible, position the plain shank through the shear plane of the joint rather than leaving threads in the shear area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Grade 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 bolts, use correctly rated mating nuts and washers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque values vary by diameter, pitch, finish and lubrication; always confirm the correct torque before use in safety-critical assemblies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor corrosion-sensitive applications, match the finish or material to the environment rather than relying only on strength grade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSelection Advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose DIN 931 when the joint benefits from a partially threaded shank. Choose DIN 933 when a fully threaded hexagon head set screw is required.
