Setscrews (Black)
Black setscrews are known for their strength and durability, often used in applications where high resistance against shear forces is required. Manufactured typically from carbon steel, these setscrews are suitable for industrial environments prone to abrasion and wear. They are regularly utilized in machinery within the construction and manufacturing industries, ensuring a tight fit where continual vibration might otherwise loosen components.
Setscrews (Brass)
Brass setscrews are noted for their corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, making them ideal for use in electrical applications and fittings in marine environments. These screws are softer than steel and stainless steel, which makes them preferable for applications where damage to the mating part (such as a stripped thread) needs to be avoided, such as in decorative fixtures or soft metal assemblies.
Setscrews (Galv)
Galvanized setscrews offer enhanced corrosion resistance due to their zinc coating. These are extensively used in outdoor settings, or in environments where moisture and humidity are prevalent, such as plumbing and exterior building applications. The galvanization process provides a tough layer that is resistant to weathering and rust, which prolongs the life of both the screw and the application it secures.
Setscrews (HDG)
Hot-dip galvanized setscrews go a step further than regular galvanized screws by having a thicker zinc coating, which is applied through a hot-dip method. They offer superior resistance to environmental and industrial corrosives. These are crucial for highly corrosive industrial environments, such as those encountered in chemical processing plants or offshore oil rigs.
Setscrews (Metric Fine)
Metric Fine setscrews offer a finer thread than standard metric setscrews. This allows for better tension control and stronger grip in applications requiring precise adjustments. These screws are frequently used in applications requiring meticulous fine tuning such as optical instruments, mechanical watches, and automotive suspensions.
Setscrews (Stainless A2)
Stainless A2 setscrews are made from an alloy with a high corrosion resistance, ideal for general use in a wide range of environments. Commonly known as 304-grade stainless steel, A2 is suitable for most wet, acidic, and chlorinated environments, making them a staple in food processing equipment, water handling systems, and other similar settings.
Setscrews (Stainless A4)
Stainless A4 setscrews, also known as marine grade or 316 stainless steel, provide a higher corrosion resistance than A2, particularly in high chloride environments. They are particularly valuable in maritime applications such as in boat fittings, deck screws, or any area with direct exposure to seawater or salty air.
Setscrews HT (Black)
High-Tensile (HT) Black setscrews are incredibly strong, designed to withstand higher amounts of stress and pressure. These are commonly used in applications where high strength is a critical factor such as in automotive assemblies, heavy equipment manufacturing, and industrial machinery, where failure of components could lead to severe consequences.
Setscrews HT (Galv)
Combining the strength of high-tensile steel with the corrosion resistance of a galvanized coating, HT Galv setscrews are used in demanding applications where both high strength and durability against environmental elements are necessary. These fasteners are often found in construction and structural applications exposed to the elements.
Setscrews HT (HDG)
High-tensile hot-dip galvanized setscrews are among the toughest and most resistive fasteners available. The hot-dip galvanization provides formidable protection against corrosion while maintaining the strength properties of high-tensile steel. This makes them suitable for critical structural applications in highly corrosive environments such as bridges and industrial plants.
