DIN 6798J Zinc Internal Serrated Lock

DIN 6798J Internal Serrated Lock Washer — 65Mn Spring Steel, Zinc Plated CR3

FULLERKREG DIN 6798J internal serrated lock washers are manufactured to DIN 6798 Form J standard in 65Mn high-manganese spring steel (per GB/T 1222) with zinc electroplating and trivalent chromium (CR3) passivation. DIN 6798 Form J features internal serrations (teeth on the inner diameter) that bite into the fastener shank or bolt head bearing surface, providing positive anti-loosening performance through mechanical engagement while preserving the outer substrate surface. 65Mn spring steel achieves 430–510 HV hardness after quench and temper, delivering superior tooth sharpness retention and fatigue resistance. The zinc CR3 finish provides ≥72h salt spray resistance with full RoHS compliance.

Note on hydrogen embrittlement: At 430–510 HV, electroplating introduces hydrogen embrittlement risk. FULLERKREG applies mandatory post-plate baking (per ISO 9587 / GB/T 13912) to eliminate this risk and ensure tooth integrity.

DIN 6798 Form J vs. Form A — Key Differences

Feature Form J (Internal) — This Product Form A (External)
Serration location Inner diameter Outer diameter
Bites into Fastener shank / bolt head Substrate surface
Outer surface Preserved — no marking Marked by teeth
Anti-loosening torque Standard Maximum (larger radius)
Best for Visible / finished surfaces General industrial assemblies

Application Scenarios

  • Visible or finished surfaces — internal teeth preserve outer substrate appearance
  • Heavy machinery & industrial equipment — high hardness teeth, outdoor corrosion protection
  • Automotive manufacturing — chassis and body assemblies exposed to moisture
  • Construction & steel structures — sheltered outdoor environments
  • Agricultural & mining equipment — high-vibration, humid conditions
  • Electrical enclosures & control panels — reliable anti-loosening with corrosion protection
  • General bolted assemblies — where RoHS-compliant zinc finish is required

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is DIN 6798 Form J?
A: DIN 6798 Form J is an internal serrated lock washer. The teeth are on the inner diameter and bite into the fastener shank or bolt head underside when tightened, providing mechanical anti-loosening without marking the outer substrate surface.

Q: Why 65Mn spring steel for serrated lock washers?
A: 65Mn achieves 430–510 HV after quench and temper, providing sharp, durable teeth that maintain their bite-in performance under repeated loading. Higher hardness than standard carbon steel ensures the teeth do not deform under tightening torque.

Q: What is CR3 passivation?
A: CR3 refers to trivalent chromium passivation over zinc electroplating. Provides ≥72h NSS corrosion protection without Cr6+. Fully RoHS compliant.

Q: How is hydrogen embrittlement managed?
A: Post-plate baking at 190–220°C for 4–8 hours per ISO 9587 drives off absorbed hydrogen before the zinc coating seals, restoring tooth integrity and spring properties.

Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, hardness reports, salt spray reports, and RoHS declarations available upon request.
