Metric DIN 6797 are toothed lock washers that are available in Form A (external tooth) and Form J (Internal tooth).
Form A has teeth that extend outward from the outside edge of the washer. Form J has teeth that extend inward from the
inside edge of the washer. Internal tooth arrangements are ideal for screws with smaller heads In both cases the teeth bite
into the surface of the substrate to oppose any loosening forces. The flexed teeth also help absorb shock, vibration and
slipping. Aspen Fasteners offers the following sizes for immediate delivery from stock: Diameters ranging from M3 to M24
available in A2 and marine grade A4 stainless steel. View available parts by clicking on the following link: DIN 6797 Tooth

DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung - German Institute for Standardization) standards are issued for a variety of
components including industrial fasteners as metric DIN 6797 Tooth Lock Washers. The DIN standards remain common
in Germany, Europe and globally even though the transition to ISO standards is taking place. DIN standards continue to
be used for parts which do not have ISO equivalents or for which there is no need for standardization .

1) Mechanical properties of stainless steel for metric DIN 6797 Tooth Lock Washers

Stainless steels can be divided into three groups of steel - austenitic, ferritic and martensitic. Austenitic steel is by
far the most common type (>90% of commercial fasteners). The steel groups and strength classes are designated by a four-
digit sequence of letters and numbers (eg A2-70) as shown in the following table. DIN EN ISO 3506 governs screws and nuts
made from stainless steel.

Screws, Nuts and Bolts

Tensile Tensile
Strength strength strength Dia range Nut Load
Steel group Steel grade N/mm2 PSI
class N/mm2

50 500 70,000 <=M39 500

Austenitic A2 and A4 70 700 100,000 <=M20 700
80 800 118,000 <=M20 800
The tensile stress is calculated with reference to the tensile stress area (see DIN EN ISO 3506-1979). Nuts to be paired
with same grade of stainless steel screws
