DIN 7972 Countersunk Head Slotted Self Tapping Screw - ISO 1482 Slotted Countersunk (Flat) Head Tap Screws

DIN 7972 Countersunk Head Slotted Self Tapping Screw - ISO 1482 Slotted Countersunk (Flat) Head Tap Screws

Flat countersunk head socket drive screws, as defined in the DIN 7972 standard published by the German Institute for Standardization (DIN), are thread-forming screws that create their own threads in the substrate they are driven into, and are generally made of thin metal . The flat countersunk head has a 90-degree countersink so that the head can be flush with the surface of the substrate when fully inserted. Socket drive screws accept a single-ended screwdriver, ideal for simple manual applications. These screws are used with pre-drilled, punched, or socketed pilot holes in sheet metal or other solid materials.

Similarly, the ISO 1482 standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), describes the specifications of countersunk (flat) head tapping screws with thread sizes from ST 2,2 to ST 9,5 (ISO 1482 Countersunk (flat) head tapping screws).

In the DIN 7972 standard, the requirements for flat countersunk slotted self-tapping screws are listed under the following headings:

  • Mechanical properties of stainless steel for flat countersunk slotted self-tapping screws
  • Chemical composition of stainless steel for flat countersunk slotted self-tapping screws
  • Mechanical properties of steel for countersunk slotted self-tapping screws
  • Chemical composition of steel for countersunk slotted self-tapping screws

Steel or stainless steel is used in the production of such washers. Austenitic steel is a type of austenitic stainless steel. It contains a high percentage of nickel and chromium and provides great strength and corrosion resistance.

The use of austenitic group stainless steel is as follows:

  • Steel of strength class 50, A1, A2, is used for soft, cold worked, turned and soft pressed fasteners.
  • Steel of strength class 70, A2, A4, cold worked, is used for normal strength fasteners.
  • Strength class 80, A2, A4 steel, extreme cold worked, high strength, special applications.
