Product Information
- A straight shank fastener with external threads designed to go through a hole or nut that is pre-tapped to form a mating thread for the screw. Machine screws form a fastening superior in strength to spaced thread screws.
- STEEL: Steel Zinc is the most common and most popular variety of steel machine screws. Steel Zinc yellow screws are popular in electronics applications. Steel Zinc Black and Black Oxide screws are used to blend in with black-colored components.
- STAINLESS: 18-8 Stainless steel machine screws are used in applications which require general atmospheric corrosion resistance, in food processing machinery and refrigeration equipment. Stainless is also superior to steel in withstanding some elevation i
- 410 Stainless steel is recommended in applications where greater tensile strength is needed such as control mechanisms or valves under high stress. 410 is not as corrosion resistant as are 18-8 or 316 stainless.
- ALUMINUM: In some applications, aluminum machine screws can be a less expensive alternative to stainless screws because of their resistance to corrosion and high rate of conductivity. Aluminum machine screws should be fastened with aluminum nuts to minimi
