Metric DIN 7991 hexagon socket cap screws have a flat countersunk head with an internal hexagonal drive suited for a hex /
Allen key or wrench. The internal drive is ideal for situations where externally wrenched screws are impractical such as in
applications where limited space is available. Furthermore the flat countersunk head allows for the head to lie flush with the
surface of the substrate. Aspen Fasteners offers an extensive range of metric DIN 7991 hexagon socket cap screws as well
other inch and metric industrial fasteners for immediate delivery from stock. The following sizes of metric DIN 7991 hexagon
socket cap screws are available for immediate shipping from stock: Diameters ranging from M3 to M24 in lengths up to
150mm, in steel and stainless steel A2 and A4. View parts by clicking on the following link: DIN 7991 Flat Countersunk Head

DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung - German Institute for Standardization) standards are issued for a variety of
components including industrial fasteners as metric DIN 7991 hexagon socket cap screws. The DIN standards remain
common in Germany. Europe and globally even though the transition to ISO standards is taking place. DIN standards
continue to be used for parts which do not have ISO equivalents.

1) Mechanical properties of stainless steel for metric DIN 7991 Flat Head Hexagon Socket Cap Screw

Stainless steels can be divided into three groups of steel - austenitic. ferritic and martensitic. Austenitic steel is by far the most
common type (>90% of commercial fasteners). The steel groups and strength classes are designated by a four-digit sequence
of letters and numbers (eg A2-70) as shown in the following table. DIN EN ISO 3506 governs screws and nuts made from
stainless steel.
