6 Materials and processing
6.1 Chemical composition
Tables 1 ~ 3 specify the chemical composition limits of stainless steel and nickel alloys
for fasteners. The chemical composition shall be evaluated according to the relevant

see Appendix A.
Unless otherwise agreed by the purchaser and the manufacturer, the chemical
composition within the specified group range of fastener steel is ultimately selected by
the manufacturer.
GB/T 3098.25 specifies general guidelines and information for selecting stainless steel
or nickel alloys suitable for the application.
Chapters 6 and 7 are met, the supplier may choose its own method to control and/or
inspect the fasteners (regular evaluation of the manufacturer, verification of the test
results provided by the manufacturer, physical inspection of the fasteners, etc.).
In case of dispute, the test methods specified in 8.1 and Chapter 9 shall be followed.

the actual screw-in length and clamping length.
c) The test fixture shall be heated to the specified test temperature; the time to reach
this temperature shall be at least 60 minutes per 25 mm fastener diameter.

the provisions of ISO 7961, but the speed of the running chuck shall not exceed
3 mm/min.
