Thing to Know About Stainless Steel Tapping Screws on Metal Sheets

Are metal sheets and  tapping screws contaminated? Are clients complaining about you?

Here’s some useful tips to give them!

What is the right material for the laminate and tapping screws?

Tell your clients to be very careful with combination of materials to be used.

These are some precaution to prevent the screws contamination:

#inbound-list.class-NqAtHYVxya li {
color:#000000;
list-style: none;
font-weight: 500;
font-size: 16px;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#inbound-list.class-NqAtHYVxya li:before {
background: transparent;
border-radius: 50% 50% 50% 50%;
color:#0080ff;
display: inline-block;
font-family: ‘FontAwesome’;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 18px;
margin-right: 0.5em;
margin-top: 0;
text-align: center;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 580px) {
#inbound-list.class-NqAtHYVxya li {
width:100%;
}
}
p:empty {
display:none;
}

The stainless steelmechanical resistance: the fall of a myth.

Costumers often think that the stainless steel mechanical resistance is always superior than zinc coated or iron. Well, it’s not necessary true. Indeed, that depends on the screw’s specific resistance concerned and the material of which be made.

For example:

#inbound-list.class-LJTlKsAubr li {
color:#000000;
list-style: none;
font-weight: 500;
font-size: 16px;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#inbound-list.class-LJTlKsAubr li:before {
background: transparent;
border-radius: 50% 50% 50% 50%;
color:#0080ff;
display: inline-block;
font-family: ‘FontAwesome’;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 18px;
margin-right: 0.5em;
margin-top: 0;
text-align: center;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 580px) {
#inbound-list.class-LJTlKsAubr li {
width:100%;
}
}
p:empty {
display:none;
}

Therefore, it’s logical to conclude that drilling a sheet zinc with a stainless steel tapping screw  it’s not correct. Although the pilot-hole.

The oxidation resistance: stainless steel is unbeatable.

Indeed, the stainless steel is preferable to iron and iron coated with zinc, in terms of oxidation resistance.

Especially in the presence of a highly oxidant environment, such as marine.

So, the best solution is to choose the AISI 316 stainless steel  with A4 grade. This is rich in molybdenum and more resilient to oxide.
