Alloy Steel Grade 12.9 DIN912 Hex Socket Head Cap Screws
DIN912 Hex Socket Head Cap Screws are one of the most commonly used mechanical fasteners in industrial applications. Known for their high strength and compact profile, they are essential in precision assemblies where space and torque requirements are critical. These screws are defined by the German DIN standard 912 and are typically driven using a hex key or Allen wrench, offering robust mechanical properties and clean aesthetics.
Flybear Fastener offers a wide range of DIN912 socket cap screws made of high-strength Class 12.9 alloy steel, designed to meet the highest performance demands.

Material and Manufacturing Process
DIN912 Hex Socket Head Cap Screws from Flybear Fastener are manufactured using top-grade alloy steel, heat-treated to meet Class 12.9 mechanical properties. The production process includes:
- Cold or hot forging to shape the screw.
 - Thread rolling for precise thread forming.
 - Heat treatment for achieving desired strength and hardness.
 - Surface coating for enhanced corrosion resistance.
 - Dimensional and quality inspections.
 
Common surface finishes include black oxide for minimal friction and improved corrosion resistance, zinc plating, and phosphate coating depending on customer requirements and application environments.
Typical Applications and Industries
DIN912 Hex Socket Head Cap Screws are widely utilized in:
- Automotive assemblies
 - Machinery and equipment installations
 - Aerospace components
 - Agricultural machinery
 - Industrial robotics and automation
 - Electronics and electrical enclosures
 - Military and defense equipment
 
Their compact head style and high strength make them especially suitable where assembly space is constrained or where high clamp forces are required.

Selection and Procurement Guide
To select the correct DIN912 Hex Socket Cap Screw:
- Define the mechanical load and choose appropriate thread size & length.
 - Confirm whether alloy steel with Grade 12.9 is compatible with other assembly materials.
 - Consider environmental exposure when selecting coating.
 - Ensure proper drive tool (hex socket wrench) availability.
 - For customized or bulk orders, always request technical drawings for precise manufacturing.

Additional Product Insights
For applications that require even higher torque or security, DIN912 socket cap screws are often used together with hardened washers or thread-locking compounds to prevent loosening under vibration. In situations with limited access to the bolt head, right-angle hex drivers or ball-end hex tools may be required.
Customized head recess designs and special coatings like Dacromet or Geomet treatments are also available upon request.
