Two Flange Head Types Available
① Non-Serrated Flange (Smooth Flange)
The standard DIN 6921 configuration. The flange underhead bearing surface is smooth, providing a large, even clamping area that distributes load across the joint. Ideal for applications where the mating surface must not be marred or where vibration resistance is achieved through other means (e.g., thread-locking compounds or prevailing torque nuts).
- Smooth flange underside
- Larger bearing area reduces surface pressure
- Suitable for softer substrates and painted surfaces
- Preferred in body panel and bracket assemblies
② Serrated Flange (Toothed Flange)
Features radial serrations on the flange underside that bite into the mating surface upon tightening, providing superior vibration and loosening resistance without additional locking elements. Widely used in powertrain, chassis, and battery pack assemblies where dynamic loads and vibration are constant.
- Integral serrated locking feature
- Excellent resistance to vibration-induced loosening
- Eliminates need for separate lock washers
- Preferred in drivetrain, motor mounts, and EV battery enclosures

Surface Treatment: Zinc Yellow
The Zinc Yellow finish applied to FULLERKREG DIN 6921 bolts provides a dual function: corrosion protection and visual identification. Compliant with DIN 267-11 requirements for electroplated and zinc-flake coatings on fasteners.
-
Color: Distinctive yellow / golden iridescent appearance
-
Corrosion Protection: ≥ 720 hours neutral salt spray (NSS) to first red rust
-
Coating Type: Zinc flake (Geomet / Dacromet equivalent) or zinc electroplate with yellow chromate passivation
-
RoHS Compliant: Trivalent chromate process available (Cr³⁺, no hexavalent chromium)
-
Hydrogen Embrittlement Risk: Minimized through controlled baking process post-plating (per DIN EN ISO 4042)
-
Identification: Yellow color serves as a quick visual indicator for Grade 10.9 zinc-coated fasteners in assembly lines
