Materials for Socket Head Cap Screws
Stainless Steel
At Fasteners Etc., Inc., we offer socket head cap screws in different grades of stainless steel:
- 18-8 SS: A general-purpose grade known for excellent corrosion resistance and durability, used for a wide range of applications.
- 316 SS: A stronger stainless steel grade with superior resistance to harsh chemicals and salt water, ideal for industrial and marine environments.
Both options provide reliable strength and resilience for socket head cap screws.
Zinc
Zinc-coated socket head cap screws are lightweight and offer corrosion resistance under mild conditions. This makes them suitable for indoor applications or environments with minimal exposure to moisture. While not as durable as stainless steel, zinc-plated screws are a cost-effective option for low-corrosion settings.
Thermal Black Oxide
Thermal black oxide socket head cap screws are ideal for applications where aesthetics are prioritized. The black oxide is a chemical treatment that enhances appearances and adds mild corrosion resistance. The finish does not alter the strength of the screw, meaning these screws are a combination of attractiveness and functionality.
Thread Options for Socket Head Cap Screws
We offer various threading types to suit individual project needs. UNC (Unified National Coarse) threads have easy installation and a reduced risk of stripping, making them ideal for general-purpose applications. Screws with UNF (Unified National Fine) threads are best suited for use with harder materials like metals. Find the right
industrial threaded fasteners for your needs today.
Specialized Options for Socket Head Cap Screws
Nylon Patch and Nylon Pellet
For applications requiring superior strength and durability, socket head cap screws with a nylon patch or nylon pellet provide secure holds. These specialized features are ideal for environments with vibrations or movement that could loosen standard screws.
Low Head
Socket cap screws with a low head are best for tight applications with very limited head space. They maintain the strong holding power of socket cap screws while requiring less installation space, reducing the risk of moving parts catching or snagging the screw head.
Tamper Resistant
Projects in environments with heavy traffic or sensitive areas will need strong connections created with tamper-resistant socket cap screws. These screws require a special tool for both installation and removal, preventing unauthorized disassembly and reducing the risk of failure.
