Serrated Flanged Hexagon Nuts (DIN 6923) - Zinc Plated Alloy Steel (Class 10)

DIN 6923 Serrated Flanged Hexagon Nuts — Zinc Plated Alloy Steel (Class 10)

FULLERKREG DIN 6923 Class 10 serrated hexagon flange nuts are manufactured from boron alloy steel 10B21, quenched and tempered to achieve Class 10 mechanical properties, conforming to DIN 6923. The boron addition in 10B21 significantly enhances hardenability, enabling superior strength-to-weight performance over standard medium carbon steel. The integrated serrated flange bearing surface distributes clamping load over a wider area and provides built-in vibration resistance — eliminating the need for a separate lock washer. Surface finish: bright zinc plated with trivalent chromium passivation (Zn + Cr3), RoHS compliant. Thread: metric coarse (ISO 68-1).

10B21 is a boron-microalloyed steel. The trace addition of boron (B) dramatically improves hardenability, allowing Class 10 strength to be achieved with lower carbon content than conventional medium carbon steels — reducing hydrogen embrittlement risk while maintaining superior mechanical performance.

Hydrogen Embrittlement Low risk — Cr3 process; baking recommended for Class 10 per ISO 4042

Note: For high-strength fasteners (Class 10 and above), hydrogen embrittlement relief baking after electroplating is recommended per ISO 4042. FULLERKREG applies baking as standard for Class 10 zinc-plated products.

Selection Guide — DIN 6923 Serrated Flange Nut (Class 10, Zinc Plated)

Requirement Recommended Spec
Ultra-high-load / critical structural joints Class 10 Zn Cr3 ✔
Automotive safety-critical / powertrain Class 10 Zn Cr3 ✔
Vibration-resistant joint (no extra washer) Serrated flange — no extra washer needed ✔
RoHS / REACH compliant finish required Cr3 trivalent passivation ✔
48h / 72h salt spray required Custom order available — contact FULLERKREG
Heavy structural (lower cost option) Consider Class 8 Zn Cr3 instead
Marine / outdoor / high-humidity environment Consider A2 or A4 stainless steel instead

Standard Reference

DIN 6923 specifies hexagon flange nuts with a serrated or plain bearing surface. The serrated variant provides mechanical locking through the teeth on the flange underside, which bite into the mating surface under torque — eliminating the need for a separate spring or toothed washer. Class 10 nuts are manufactured from alloy steel and must be quenched and tempered per DIN EN ISO 898-2. Bright zinc plating per ISO 4042 with trivalent chromium (Cr3) passivation and hydrogen embrittlement relief baking ensures both RoHS compliance and fastener integrity. FULLERKREG manufactures to the current edition of DIN 6923 with full dimensional traceability.
