Metric stainless screw has become an industry standard

 Metric Stainless Screws - Some Interesting Facts
Metric stainless steel screws have been an important engineering material for years - very useful most especially in aviation, construction, and other industries.

What's the big deal about this kind of material? Why is it popular in the industry? When do you need to choose metric stainless screws for your project? These are important questions we need to address. And some interesting facts below can help us find the answers.
An ordinary metal like carbon steel screw is prone to rusting. Exposure of this material to oxygen would lead to oxidation - a chemical reaction between the material and the atmosphere. And, it is important to note that the more corrosive your environment, the faster oxidation process would take place. Seaside for instance is more corrosive - metals corrode more quickly when near the sea.

Although industries used to be satisfied with carbon steel for centuries, the fast-paced environment and the tough competition pushed people in the industry to look for improved engineering materials. Indeed, there had been a metal revolution in the industry.

Thanks to the innovative people in the industry - metric stainless screws solve the problem of rusting. What's with the stainless metal screws that make them, well, stainless? Stainless steel materials contain at least 11% chromium. When this metal is mixed into the steel, it oxidizes too - but it oxidizes into a super-strong, corrosion-resistant film of chromium oxide. This outer layer of chromium oxide serves as a kind of protective covering that prevents rust from penetrating the steel.

Metric stainless screw has become an industry standard

Precisely because stainless metal material can give what the industry needs, it has become an industry standard for production, construction, aviation - among other component of the industry. It helps in building a more quality structures and products.

Other reasons for this recognition include:

These screws maintain their strength when exposed to extreme temperatures ( hot or cold)
They are easy to clean and nice to look at - because they are stainless!
Longer lifespan because of its anti-corrosive properties
Highly resistant to magnetic forces as well
Metric stainless screw - a clear winner

If you are building a structure, it is important that you underscore the location as a factor in choosing the type of materials to use. If it is meant to last, particularly around chemicals and salt water exposure, metric steel screw is a clear winner!

Security Screws: Safety Is At Risk Even In Small Stuff

In a world where trust is slowly diminishing, we have become frenetic in handling and keeping things that are significant. But Mother Theresa once said, "Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." There's passage reminding us that folks who can't be trusted with small things are people who can't be trusted with big things. Perhaps it can also be said that if we can't trust some literally small things, we can be broken big time. Don't discount the small things for it might be the cause for your serious problem. This also applies with household equipment such as cheap stainless steel security screws. Never dare to belittle the function of small tools chiefly if they have great specifications. Thanks to the genius minds behind screws that are designed to hand a superior level of safekeeping than your standard screws or fasteners. Technically, this innovation was created to avoid crimes like theft and robbery. These gears guara...

Self-tapping screw anti-brittle fracture technology is inseparable from heat treatment

Self-tapping screws are often seen in metal plates with relatively thin links (steel plates, saw plates, etc.). Due to the high strength of the threaded surface of the self-tapping screw (≥HRC45), when linking, the self-tapping screw is screwed into the connector that has been made with the threaded bottom hole in advance, so that the inner thread can be tapped in the threaded bottom hole of the link The thread thus completes the connection. There is a special screw that has better working performance than ordinary self-tapping screws and can even replace machine screws-self-tapping pin screws are often used for links between thin metal plates. The difference between it and the ordinary self-tapping screw is the ordinary thread with the arc-shaped triangular interface with higher hardness. This kind of excellent screw with low screwing torque and high locking performance, of course, can also tap the internal thread in the threaded bottom hole to be connected like a normal screw. The wa...

Types and advantages of flange bolts

Flange bolts are integral bolts composed of hexagon head, flange (washer and hexagon fixed body under the hexagon) and screw (cylinder with external thread). Need to be fastened with the nut to connect the two through-hole parts.   The flange bolts can be separated. If the nut is removed from the bolt, the two parts can be separated, so the bolt connection is a detachable connection. Flange bolts need to be matched with nuts to fix the two through-hole parts.   There are four types of flange bolts: 1. Types of hexagonal flange bolts: There are two types of hexagonal heads, one is concave head and the other is flat head. 2. Surface color classification: according to different needs, the surface is plated white, army green, yellow, and will never rust. 3. Flange bolt category: according to the position of the flange bolt, the size requirements of the disc will be different. There are also teeth on the bottom, flat, with teeth to prevent slipping. 4. According to the connection f...
