Self tapping screw and its industrial application

Metric fastener is a very important engineering material, which has been used in many applications in different fields. Many industries use various types of Metric Fasteners, such as construction, wood processing, mobile and aerospace, and electronic equipment production.


However, in this particular content, I will introduce metric thread forming screws in particular. These are screws used to form material or base material around the hole until they are wrapped around the thread. As opposed to other metric screws, they do not remove any parts from the joint.


How do self tapping screws work?


In layman's terms, screw forming screws force the substrate or material to fit into its thread. The process is similar to self tapping screws (self tapping screws remove debris from the material), but they deform the substrate only by bending the substrate to the mating position without removing any of the joints.


application area


Metals or metallic materials - they can be used in a variety of metal materials, such as plate steel, sheet steel, non-ferrous metals and light metals; they can be used repeatedly (reuse).

Nylon and plastics - made from non-metallic materials, including acetals, polycarbonate, PVC and polypropylene.

Wood or wood material - re also has some types that can be specifically used for wood processing, such as in furniture and construction (e.g. m78007-ka18x5 Pt oval head steel zinc wn1412)

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...

What are the main types of self-tapping screws?

Many times, the type of screw you decide to use will depend on the material of the screw. Below are a few different types of these specific fasteners and fixtures, and the materials they are most suitable for. Round head screws-Although self-tapping screws are usually used for hard materials, if you need to use thinner materials, round head screws may be the best choice. These are the most common screw types. Many times, this kind of screw is used in combination with a washer. Pan head-If you are using heavy materials, you should consider using a pan head. They are oval in shape with a tapered base, suitable for hard materials. Flat head-For those "home assembly" type furniture, you may want to consider using flat head tapping screws. Generally, they last longer than the nails and bolts given to you in the home assembly package. Phillips Heads-Are you working on plasterboard or timber projects? The crosshead may be your best choice. This type of head provides more control and...

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...
