scope:

Specifies dimensional requirements for electroplated fasteners of steel or copper alloy. It specifies coating thicknesses and gives recommendations for hydrogen embrittlement relief for fasteners with high tensile strength or hardness and surface-hardened fasteners. It primarily concerns the electroplating or threaded fasteners, but it may also be applied to other threaded parts. For the applicability to screws that cut or form their own mating threads, see clause 8. The specifications given in this standard may also be applied to non-threaded parts such as washers and pins.
