GB/T 5779.1-2000 in English

Fasteners - Surface discontinuities -
Bolts, screws and studs for general requirements

1 Scope

1.1 This standard establishes limits for various types of surface discontinuities on bolts, screws and studs for general requirements.

It applies to bolts, screws and studs with

- nominal thread diameters 5 mm and larger;

- product grades A and B;

- property classes up to and including 10.9, unless otherwise specified in product standards or agreed between supplier and purchaser.

1.2 Limits for surface discontinuities on bolts, screws and studs for special requirements (e.g. automatic assembly) are laid down in GB/T 5779.3. When the engineering requirements of the application necessitate that surface discontinuities on bolts, screws and studs be more closely controlled, it shall be specified in the respective product standard, or the purchaser shall specify the applicable limits in the inquiry and purchase order.

1.3 Where the permissible limits for surface discontinuities indicated in Clause 3 occur, the minimum values for the mechanical and functional properties specified in GB/T 3098.1 shall still be met.

Notes:
1 The figures in Clause 3 are examples only. They apply correspondingly also to other types of bolts, screws and studs.
2 The individual figures show the surface discontinuities exaggerated in some cases for clarity.

3 Types, causes, appearance and limits of surface discontinuities

3.1 Cracks

A crack is a clean (crystalline) fracture passing through or across the grain boundaries and may possibly follow inclusions of foreign elements. Cracks are normally caused by overstressing the metal during forging or other forming operations, or during heat treatment. Where parts are subjected to significant reheating, cracks usually are discoloured by scale.
