Partially Threaded Hexagon Bolts (DIN 931) — High Tensile Stainless Steel A2-70 (SUS304)
FULLERKREG DIN 931 partially threaded hexagon bolts are manufactured from A2 stainless steel (SUS304) to Grade A2-70, with a whitened and passivated surface finish. The partially threaded shank — with a smooth unthreaded grip length beneath the head — provides precise shear load transfer through the bolt body, making DIN 931 the preferred choice for structural connections, flanged joints, machinery, and applications where the bolt passes through clearance holes and the thread engages only in the nut or tapped hole.
DIN 931 is the metric equivalent of ISO 4014 and is widely specified in European, Asian, and global engineering standards. Available in sizes M6 through M64 across a comprehensive range of lengths.

Typical Applications
- 🏗️ Structural steel connections — bolted joints where the smooth shank carries shear loads across the joint interface
- 🔧 Flanged pipe joints — flange bolting in process piping, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers
- ⚙️ Machinery & equipment — precision bolted connections where grip length must be controlled
- 🌊 Marine & coastal structures — A2 stainless provides corrosion resistance for outdoor and marine-adjacent structural connections
- 🏭 Industrial plant & infrastructure — general structural bolting in corrosive or hygienic environments
- 🛠️ Bridges & civil engineering — where partial thread is specified to keep the thread out of the shear plane
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between DIN 931 and DIN 933?
A: DIN 931 is partially threaded — it has an unthreaded smooth shank (grip length) beneath the head, with thread only at the end. DIN 933 is fully threaded from head to tip. DIN 931 is preferred for structural and shear-critical connections where the smooth shank should be in the shear plane. DIN 933 is preferred when maximum thread engagement or grip-length flexibility is needed.
Q: What is the equivalent international standard for DIN 931?
A: DIN 931 is equivalent to ISO 4014 (Hexagon head bolts — Product grades A and B). Both standards specify the same dimensions and thread lengths. DIN 931 is the German national standard; ISO 4014 is the international standard. FULLERKREG DIN 931 bolts are manufactured to both standards.
Q: How do I calculate the grip length for a DIN 931 bolt?
A: Grip length ≈ L − b − k, where L = nominal bolt length, b = threaded length (from the table above), k = head height. For example, M16 × 100: grip ≈ 100 − 44 − 10 = 46 mm. Always verify with the thread length table for the specific L range.
Q: Is A2-70 stainless suitable for structural applications?
A: Yes. A2-70 provides a minimum tensile strength of 700 MPa and proof stress of 450 MPa — suitable for most structural bolting applications. For higher-strength requirements, specify A4-80 or consult a structural engineer for load calculations.
Q: Can stainless steel bolts gall (seize) during installation?
A: Yes. Stainless steel is susceptible to galling (cold welding / thread seizure) when torqued against stainless nuts without lubrication. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound (copper-based or nickel-based) to threads before installation, especially for larger sizes (M20 and above).
Q: What nut and washer should I use with DIN 931 A2-70 bolts?
A: Use A2 stainless steel hexagon nuts (DIN 934 / ISO 4032) and A2 stainless plain washers (DIN 125 / ISO 7089) to maintain material compatibility and avoid galvanic corrosion. For structural applications, use A2 stainless structural nuts (ISO 4033) as specified.
