DIN 434 Square Beveled Washer (8%) for Channels — Low Carbon Steel, Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG)
FULLERKREG DIN 434 square beveled washers are manufactured to DIN 434 standard in low carbon steel with hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) per ISO 1461. DIN 434 is a square taper washer with an 8% bevel (approximately 4.6°) specifically designed for use with steel channels (UPN / UPE / C-sections). The tapered profile compensates for the natural inward slope of the channel flange, ensuring the bolt head or nut bears flat and evenly — eliminating bending stress on the bolt shank and ensuring correct structural bolt behavior. Hot-dip galvanizing provides a thick, metallurgically bonded zinc coating (45–85 μm per ISO 1461) with excellent long-term corrosion protection — the industry-standard surface treatment for structural steelwork in outdoor and exposed environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is DIN 434?
A: DIN 434 is a square taper washer with an 8% bevel (approx. 4.6°) designed for use with steel channels (UPN/UPE/C-sections). The tapered profile compensates the natural inward slope of the channel flange, ensuring the bolt head or nut bears flat and evenly, eliminating bending stress on the bolt shank.
Q: What is the difference between DIN 434 and DIN 435?
A: DIN 434 (8% bevel) is for steel channels (UPN/UPE) with a shallower flange taper. DIN 435 (14% bevel) is for I-beams and H-beams (IPE/HEA/HEB) with a steeper flange taper. Always match the washer bevel to the section type.
Q: What is hot-dip galvanizing (HDG)?
A: Hot-dip galvanizing immerses steel in molten zinc at approximately 450°C, forming a metallurgically bonded zinc-iron alloy coating (45–85 μm per ISO 1461). The zinc provides cathodic protection and is self-healing at cut edges, giving 25–50+ years service life in typical outdoor environments.
Q: Does HDG coating affect the bevel angle?
A: The HDG coating (45–85 μm) has negligible effect on the 8% bevel angle for structural applications. The bevel is machined into the base steel before galvanizing and is maintained within DIN 434 tolerances after coating.
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, HDG coating thickness inspection reports, and RoHS declarations available upon request.
