Offering robust strength, corrosion resistance, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance, 316 stainless steel is a suitable material to hold things together when the going gets tough. China Aluminum Screws manufacturers standard and custom flat head socket cap screws from this material for demanding industrial applications.

What’s A Flat Head Socket Cap Screw?

It’s a threaded fastener used to secure the mating parts or panels of an assembly or upper-level tool. It features a cylindrical flat socket head and hexagonal drive hole. The flat head design permits driving when the appropriate space for wrenches or sockets isn’t available. The screw sits flush with the mating part’s surface upon insertion. Tightening occurs when torque is applied to the screw head.

Unless otherwise specified, the screw head is clean. This provides a smooth and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Benefits Of 316 Stainless Steel

316 stainless steel is an austenitic material with elevated amounts of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. Commonly called food- or marine-grade steel, it’s manufactured using precision forming and drawing processes. Alloy 316 exhibits a variety of unique characteristics.

Other characteristics of 300 series stainless steel include:

  • Enhanced Corrosion Resistance
  • Easy To Clean
  • Withstands High Temperatures
  • Sanitary
  • Excellent Aesthetic Appeal
  • Heightened Structural Integrity
  • Great Purity

With a high amount of molybdenum, the material offers improved resistance to chloride pitting and saltwater degradation. It’s non-magnetic in the annealed condition but can become magnetic when cold-worked or welded.

Superior performance attributes and an easy-to-clean surface make 316 stainless steel suitable for use as flat head socket cap screws in many industries. Here are some examples:

  • Mining
  • Construction
  • Oil And Gas
  • Electronics
  • Consumer Products
  • Automotive
  • Petrochemicals
  • Food Processing
  • Agriculture
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Military
