For applications requiring enhanced durability in corrosive conditions, there’s nothing better than stainless steel. These lightweight and strong rust-resistant alloys excel in harsh operating environments. Keep parts secure with stainless steel flat head socket cap screws manufactured by China Aluminum Screws.

What’s A Flat Head Socket Cap Screw?

A flat head socket cap screw is a fastener used to secure the mating parts or panels of an assembly or upper-level tool. It features a flat cylindrical head and hexagonal drive hole.

The flat socket head enables driving when sufficient space for wrenches or sockets isn’t otherwise available. Upon insertion, the screw head sits flush with the surface of the mating part. Tightening occurs when torque is applied to the screw head. The screw head is clean unless other perimeters are requested. The absence of stampings or markings offers a smooth, orderly appearance.

Characteristics Of Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a family of iron-based alloys with a minimum of roughly 11 percent chromium, an element that prevents rust and withstands extreme temperatures. There are over 150 grades of stainless steel, and specific performance characteristics vary by type. Typical traits include:

  • Resists Corrosion
  • Strong
  • Easy To Clean
  • Stands Up To High Temperatures
  • Simple To Sterilize
  • Withstands Low Temperatures
  • Aesthetic Appeal
  • Improved Weldability
  • Low Weight
  • Strong Formability
  • Magnetism Resistance, In Some Cases

Stainless steel is prized for its environmental friendliness, a growing concern for many businesses. These metals have a long cycle life and is 100 percent recyclable.
