What is ISO 3506‑6 about?

ISO 3506‑6 is the sixth part of the ISO 3506 multi-series. ISO 3506‑6 specifies general rules and provides technical information on stainless steels and their properties, which are relevant when using other parts of the ISO 3506 series. ISO 3506‑6 includes specifications for corrosion-resistant stainless steels and nickel alloys, which are suitable for the manufacture of fasteners.

ISO 3506‑6 applies to austenitic, martensitic, ferritic and duplex (austenitic-ferritic) stainless steel grades and nickel alloys for fasteners, and is intended to be used together with the relevant parts of the ISO 3506 series. Common designations of stainless steels and nickel alloys used for fasteners are given in Annex A.

Who is ISO 3506‑6 for?

ISO 3506‑6 on stainless steels and nickel alloys fasteners is beneficial for

Manufacturers and distributors of stainless steel and nickel alloys fasteners
Structural and consulting engineers
Construction and civil engineering contractors and larger sub-contractors
Test houses and laboratories

Why should you use ISO 3506‑6?

Fasteners are used to mechanically join two or more objects together, either permanently or non-permanently.

ISO 3506‑6 provide information on groups and grades of stainless steels, stainless steels and nickel alloys for elevated and high temperatures, chemical composition specifications for stainless steels and nickel alloys, resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting and crevice corrosion, intergranular corrosion required to manufacture stainless steels and nickel alloys fasteners.

As a user of ISO 3506‑6, you can be ensured of high-quality corrosion resistance stainless steel and nickel alloys fasteners. ISO 3506‑6 helps the manufacturer to manufacture stainless steels and nickel alloys fasteners which have a long service life and help them to expand the market reach for the product and build consumer trust and confidence. ISO 3506‑6 standard gives clear guidelines which will help those making, selling, and using stainless steels and nickel alloys fasteners to achieve greater business efficiency.
