DIN 434 Square Beveled Washer(8%) (For Channels) - Zinc CR3

DIN 434 Square Beveled Washer (8%) for Channels — Low Carbon Steel, Zinc Plated CR3

FULLERKREG DIN 434 square beveled washers are manufactured to DIN 434 standard in low carbon steel with zinc electroplating and trivalent chromium (CR3) passivation. 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. The zinc CR3 finish provides ≥72h neutral salt spray resistance with full RoHS compliance — no hexavalent chromium (Cr6+).

Application Scenarios

  • General industrial channel connections — UPN/UPE bolted joints in sheltered or light outdoor environments
  • Mechanical & structural assemblies — where RoHS-compliant zinc finish is required
  • Indoor structural steelwork — factory floors, mezzanines, racking systems with channel sections
  • Light outdoor structural applications — sheltered environments, covered structures
  • Electrical & control panel frames — channel-section frames requiring RoHS compliance
  • General engineering — cost-effective zinc CR3 finish for standard channel connections

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is CR3 passivation?
A: CR3 refers to trivalent chromium passivation applied over zinc electroplating. It provides enhanced corrosion protection (≥72h NSS) without hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), making it fully RoHS compliant. Appearance: bright silver with slight blue tint.

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: Zinc CR3 vs. HDG — which to choose?
A: Zinc CR3 (5–12 μm) is economical, RoHS-compliant, and suitable for general industrial and light outdoor use. HDG (45–85 μm) provides much thicker coating with cathodic protection — preferred for heavy-duty outdoor structural steelwork with 25–50+ year service life requirements.

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.

Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates and RoHS declarations available upon request.
