1.1This specification covers the chemical and mechanical requirements for stainless steel inch hexagon socket button (SBHCS) and flat countersunk (SFHCS) head cap screws with nominal thread 0.060 through 0.625 in. intended for use in applications requiring general corrosion resistance.

1.2Two groups of austenitic stainless steel alloys and three conditions are covered. See Table 1 and Table 2.

A Actual full-size testing of condition CW and CW1 may result in decreased tensile strength because of the head configuration (see Table 3). For fasteners with nominal thread diameters larger than 0.625 in., the mechanical properties shall be agreed upon between the user and manufacturer.
B Core hardness is only required when full-size product testing cannot be accomplished.
CD denotes nominal thread size.
