Mechanical properties of corrosion-resistant stainless steel fasteners - Part 3: Set screws and similar fasteners not under tensile stress (ISO 3506-3:2009)

ISO 3506-3:2009 specifies the mechanical properties of set screws and similar fasteners not under tensile stress made of austenitic stainless steel, when tested over an ambient temperature range of 10 °C to 35 °C. Properties vary at higher or lower temperatures.
ISO 3506-3:2009 applies to set screws and similar fasteners:
- with nominal thread diameter 1,6 mm ≤ d ≤ 24 mm;
- of triangular ISO metric threads with diameters and pitches in accordance with ISO 68-1, ISO 261 and ISO 262;
- of any shape.
It does not apply to screws with special properties, such as weldability.

Mechanische Eigenschaften von Verbindungselementen aus nichtrostenden Stählen - Teil 3: Gewindestifte und ähnliche nicht auf Zug beanspruchte Verbindungselemente (ISO 3506-3:2009)

Dieser Teil von ISO 3506 legt die mechanischen Eigenschaften von Gewindestiften und ähnlichen nicht auf Zug beanspruchten Verbindungselementen aus austenitischen nichtrostenden Stählen bei Prüfung in einem Umgebungstemperaturbereich von 10 °C bis 35 °C fest. Die Eigenschaften verändern sich bei höheren oder tieferen Temperaturen.
Dieser Teil von ISO 3506 gilt für Gewindestifte und ähnliche Verbindungselemente
-   mit Gewindenenndurchmessern 1,6 mm  d  24 mm;
-   mit metrischen ISO Gewinden mit Durchmessern und Steigungen nach ISO 68 1, ISO 261 und ISO 262;
-   mit beliebiger Form.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Gewindestifte mit besonderen Eigenschaften, wie z. B die Schweißbarkeit.
ANMERKUNG   Das Bezeichnungssystem in diesem Teil von ISO 3506 kann auch für Nenngrößen außerhalb der in diesem Abschnitt angegebenen Grenzen (z. B. d > 24 mm) verwendet werden, vorausgesetzt alle der jeweiligen Härte¬klasse zugeordneten mechanischen und physikalischen Anforderungen werden erfüllt.
Dieser Teil von ISO 3506 enthält keine Festlegungen über die Korrosion oder Korrosionsbeständigkeit in besonderen Umgebungen.
Zweck dieses Teils von ISO 3506 ist die Einteilung von Verbindungselementen aus nichtrostenden Stählen in Härteklassen.
Anforderungen an die Korrosionsbeständigkeit und die mechanischen Eigenschaften für den Einsatz bei höheren Temperaturen oder bei Temperaturen unter 0 °C können in jedem Einzelfall zwischen Anwender und Hersteller vereinbart werden. Im Anhang D ist dargestellt, wie die Gefahr einer interkristallinen Korrosion bei erhöhten Temperaturen vom Kohlenstoffgehalt abhängt.
Alle Verbindungselemente aus austenitischen nichtrostenden Stählen sind im geglühten Zustand in der Regel nicht magnetisch; es können jedoch nach dem Kaltumformen gewisse magnetische Eigenschaften vorliegen (siehe Anhang E).

Caractéristiques mécaniques des éléments de fixation en acier inoxydable résistant à la corrosion - Partie 3: Vis sans tête et éléments de fixation similaires non soumis à des contraintes de traction (ISO 3506-3:2009)

L'ISO 3506-3:2009 spécifie les caractéristiques mécaniques des vis sans tête et des éléments de fixation filetés similaires non soumis à des contraintes de traction, constitués d'aciers inoxydables austénitiques, soumis à essai à une température ambiante comprise entre 10 °C et 35 °C. Ces caractéristiques varient selon la valeur plus ou moins élevée de la température.
L'ISO 3506-3:2009 s'applique aux vis sans tête et aux éléments de fixation filetés similaires
de diamètre nominal de filetage 1,6 mm ≤ d ≤ 24 mm,
à filetage métrique ISO triangulaire dont le diamètre et le pas sont conformes à l'ISO 68-1, l'ISO 261 et à l'ISO 262, et
de forme quelconque.
Elle ne s'applique pas aux vis possédant des caractéristiques spéciales telles que la soudabilité.

Mehanske lastnosti veznih elementov iz nerjavnega jekla - 3. del: Navojni zatiči in podobni vijaki, ki niso natezno obremenjeni (ISO 3506-3:2009)

Ta del ISO 3506 določa mehanske lastnosti navojnih zatičev in podobnih vijakov, ki niso natezno obremenjeni, narejenih iz avstenitnega nerjavnega jekla, pri preskušanju v območju okoljske temperature med 10 °C in 35 °C.
Lastnosti se spreminjajo glede na višje ali nižje temperature.
Ta del ISO 3506 velja za navojne zatiče in podobne vijake:
⎯ z nazivnim premerom navoja 1,6 mm u d u 24 mm;
⎯ s trikotnimi metrskimi navoji ISO s premeri in nakloni v skladu z ISO 68-1, ISO 261 in ISO 262;
⎯ katere koli oblike.
Ne velja za vijake s posebnimi lastnostmi, kot je varivost.
OPOMBA: Sistem označevanja v tem delu ISO 3506 se lahko uporablja za velikosti zunaj omejitev, podanih v tej točki (npr. d  24 mm), če so izpolnjene veljavne mehanske in fizikalne zahteve razredov trdote.
Ta del ISO 3506 ne opredeljuje odpornosti proti koroziji ali oksidaciji v nekaterih okoljih.
Namen tega dela ISO 3506 je razvrstitev vijakov iz nerjavnega jekla, odpornega proti koroziji, v razrede trdote.
O zmogljivostih, povezanih s korozijo in oksidacijo, ter mehanskih lastnostih za uporabo pri povišanih temperaturah ali temperaturah pod nič se lahko dogovorita uporabnik in proizvajalec za vsak posamezen primer. Dodatek D prikazuje, kako je tveganje za interkristalno korozijo pri povišanih temperaturah odvisno od vsebnosti ogljika. Vsi vezni elementi iz avstenitnega nerjavnega jekla so v nežarjenem stanju običajno nemagnetni; po hladni obdelavi so nekatere magnetne lastnosti očitne (glej dodatek E).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 3506-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 2, Fasteners, Subcommittee SC 1, Mechanical
properties of fasteners.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 3506-3:1997), which has been technically

ISO 3506 consists of the following parts, under the general title Mechanical properties of corrosion-resistant

Introduction
In the preparation of this part of ISO 3506, special attention has been given to the fundamentally different
property characteristics of the stainless steel fastener grades compared with those of carbon steel and
low-alloy steel fasteners. Austenitic stainless steels are strengthened only by cold working and consequently
the components do not have as homogeneous local material properties as hardened and tempered parts.
These special features have been recognized in the elaboration of the hardness classes and the test
procedures for mechanical properties.
