Flat head self tapping screw

Flat head self tapping screw are made from stainless steel or alloy steel. This makes them both strong and lightweight, and they hold up well over time. The stainless steel ones resist rust well, so they’re a reliable pick for damp areas or places with chemicals. If you get the alloy steel version, heating it up makes it tougher. These work better for heavy-duty jobs where things need to stay tightly fastened that can be precisely processed into threaded shapes. They are durable and do not require frequent replacement. You can also choose coatings like zinc-plated or black oxide finishes. These coatings add an extra layer of protection to the screws, then could keep them stable and strong under harsh conditions.

FAQ

Q: How to choose the material of screws?

A: Flat head self tapping screw used for flat-head self-tapping screws include stainless steel(like grades 304 or 316), carbon steel, and galvanized or nickel-plated surfaces, that can help fight rust and work in both freezing cold (-50°C) and high heat (up to 300°C). The cross-shaped groove design on the screw head can make your screwdriver and the screw itself durable. These can handle about 50% more stress before breaking, which makes them a go-to for heavy equipment or places near saltwater. If your project needs something different, for instance, screws that carry extra weight or survive around chemicals, we can tweak the materials to fit.
