DIN 6916 300HV Structural Washer — 45# Carbon Steel, Zinc CR3
FULLERKREG DIN 6916 hardened structural washers are manufactured to DIN 6916 standard (equivalent: ISO 7416, DIN EN 14399-6) in 45# medium carbon steel, quenched and tempered to 300–370 HV hardness, with zinc electroplating and trivalent chromium (CR3) passivation. DIN 6916 washers are specifically designed for use in high-tensile structural bolted connections (HV / HSFG assemblies) with high-strength bolts of property class 10.9. The washer features 45° chamfers on both inner and outer edges, and is marked H/HV per DIN 522 for identification in structural assemblies. The high hardness (300–370 HV) prevents the washer from embedding into the connected parts under high bolt preload, maintaining clamping force integrity in structural joints. Zinc CR3 finish provides ≥72h salt spray resistance with full RoHS compliance.

Why High Hardness (300–370 HV) Is Required for Structural Washers
-
Embedding prevention: High-tensile structural bolts (class 10.9) are tightened to very high preloads. A soft washer would embed into the connected steel surface, reducing clamping force and compromising joint integrity
-
Load distribution: The hardened washer distributes the high bolt head/nut bearing load over a larger area without deforming
-
Chamfer function: The 45° external chamfer (e) accommodates the bolt head/nut fillet radius; the 45° internal chamfer (c) accommodates the bolt shank thread runout
-
H/HV marking: Required by DIN 6916 / DIN EN 14399-6 for traceability and inspection in structural assemblies
-
Standard compliance: Structural bolted connections per EN 1090 require DIN 6916 / ISO 7416 washers with property class 10.9 bolts

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is DIN 6916?
A: DIN 6916 specifies hardened round washers for high-tensile structural bolting (HV connections). Equivalent to ISO 7416 and DIN EN 14399-6. Hardness 300–370 HV, with 45° inner and outer chamfers, marked H/HV. Used with property class 10.9 bolts in structural steel connections per EN 1090.
Q: Why must structural washers be hardened?
A: High-tensile bolts (class 10.9) are tightened to very high preloads. Soft washers would embed into the steel surface under this load, reducing clamping force and compromising joint performance. DIN 6916 washers at 300–370 HV resist embedding and maintain full clamping force.
Q: What does the H/HV marking mean?
A: H/HV is the product marking required by DIN 6916 / DIN 522 for identification and traceability in structural assemblies. H = for use under bolt head; HV = for use under nut. Both are identical in dimensions — the marking enables inspection compliance.
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: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, hardness test reports, and RoHS declarations available upon request.
