Create their own threads when driven into material
Zinc Plated Steel fasteners are suitable where strength and corrosion resistance are primary considerations
Flat head style allows fastener to sit flush to the surface
Phillips drive is designed to cam out under too much torque

Self Tapping Screws are designed to advance when turned, creating their own threads in the material. They are often used in sheet metal and plastic.

Steels are designated by a 4 number SAE Steel grade. The first two digits indicate the primary materials used to form the steel. The last 2 digits identify the percentage of carbon for the alloy (in hundredths). The steel used in these fasteners has a tensile strength ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 psi (pounds per square inch). Zinc Plating helps to prevent corrosion.

Flat head fasteners are designed to fit flush to the surface when used with countersunk holes. Length is measured from the top of the head. The Phillips drive style was originally designed so that the driver would slip out under extreme torque, preventing over-tightening and damage to the fastener or the material.

Grade 8 Yellow Chromate Alloy Steel Hex Bolt, 3/8"-16, 5-1/2" Length (Pack of 5)

Grade 8 Yellow Chromate Alloy Steel Hex Bolt, 3/8"-16, 5-1/2" Length (Pack of 5) Reviews

Grade 8 Yellow Chromate Alloy Steel Hex Bolt, 3/8"-16, 5-1/2" Length (Pack of 5) Feature

Hex Bolts feature a chamfered point
Coated with yellow zinc chromate for corrosion resistance
Hex head for easy driving
Length is measured from under the head
Coarse threads are better for brittle materials, and will assemble and disassemble more quickly than fine threads

Hex bolts have a chamfered point to aid insertion into a tapped hole or nut. Length is measured from under the head.

Grade 8 fasteners are made of medium-carbon alloy steel that is quenched and tempered for added strength, with 120,000-130,000 PSI proof load and 150,000 PSI tensile strength. They have superior hardness for usage in applications where strength is a primary concern, and are grade-marked on the head with six radial lines. Yellow Zinc Chromate fasteners have been coated with zinc and with yellow chromate. As a result they offer corrosion resistance that is slightly higher than clear zinc.

Hex head fasteners can be driven with simple wrenches, and require minimal clearance above the fastener because they can be driven or loosened from the side.

A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.

Nylon 6/6 Machine Screw, Pan Head, Phillips Drive, M5-0.8, 8mm Length (Pack of 100)

Nylon 6/6 Machine Screw, Pan Head, Phillips Drive, M5-0.8, 8mm Length (Pack of 100) Feature

Machine Screws are often used with nuts or driven into tapped holes
Nylon 6/6 is suitable where non-conductivity, corrosion resistance, and cost are important considerations
Pan head allows for higher tightening torques
Phillips drive is designed to cam out under too much torque
Coarse threads are better for brittle materials, and will assemble and disassemble more quickly than fine threads

Machine Screws, also referred to as Machine Bolts, are often used with nuts or driven into tapped holes. They come in a variety of head types and drive styles, but are generally available in smaller sizes.

Nylon 6/6 is a general purpose thermoplastic with outstanding resistance to organic chemicals, acids and alkalis. Nylon wears well against other surfaces; it is readily machinable and may be milled, turned and cut with conventional machine tools. It does exhibit some dimensional swelling in wet applications which should be taken into account with its use. Tensile strength of this material is 12,000 psi (pounds per square inch).

Pan head fasteners have a low, large cylindrical head with a high rounded top edge for higher tightening torques - these fasteners are often recommended to replace older head styles such as round, binding, or truss-head where possible. The Phillips drive style was originally designed so that the driver would slip out under extreme torque, preventing over-tightening and damage to the fastener or the material.

A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter (in millimeters), followed by the thread pitch (millimeters per thread), which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.
