In the metric class system, the first number "12" indicates a nominal tensile strength of 1200 MPa (12 x 100). The second number ".9" indicates that the yield strength is 90% of the nominal tensile strength. As verified in the mechanical properties section, these bolts achieve a minimum tensile strength of 1220 MPa and a minimum yield strength of 1100 MPa.
To reach ultra-high strength without becoming dangerously brittle, Class 12.9 fasteners must be manufactured from alloy steel and subsequently quenched and tempered. ISO 898-1 strictly requires a minimum tempering temperature of 425°C, ensuring the material retains sufficient ductility (minimum 8% elongation) for structural applications.
Because of their extremely high hardness (39-44 HRC), Class 12.9 fasteners are highly susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. Therefore, traditional electro-plating (like zinc plating) is generally discouraged unless strictly controlled baking procedures are applied immediately after plating to outgas the trapped hydrogen.
