Fastener Head Styles, Drives Types & Screw Points
Visual representations of common head styles, drive types and screw points. Correctly identify and find the fasteners you need for your next jobs.
Fastener Material Types
Fasteners are offered and manufacturered in a wide range of materials, all with their own unique features & benefits. Choosing the correct fastener material for your application is key to a proper and lasting connection.
Fastener Platings, Finishes & Coatings
Selecting the correct fastener material is very important, but just as important is the finishing, plating or coating on the fasteners you are using. Finishes, platings & coatings provide fasteners with unique benefits ranging from a simple decorative touch to essential corrosion resistance to help prevent hydrogen embrittlement and factors that could cause fasteners to fail.
Fastener Corrosion
Corrosion can cause fasteners to fail by wearing away or altering the fastener material by galvanic (electrochemical) reaction or by direct chemical attack. Be prepare for your next harsh environment application with the correct corrosion-resistant fasteners and never have a structure or connection fail on you again.
Fastener Threads
Having the correct thread pitch for your fasteners is key to a proper and secure connection. Find facts about coarse and fine threaded fasteners, common thread terms, thread galling & dimensional charts relating to fastener threads.
Fastener Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of fasteners are very important factors that should be taken into account when choosing fasteners for your next job. This is extremely important in applications involving structural connections and heavy loads.
- Mechanical Requirements for Stainless Steel & Non-Ferrous Fasteners
- Grade Markings & Mechanical Properties for Steel Fasteners
