Uses Of The Stainless Machine Screws

By Jocelyn Davidson


Ever since the discovery of the screw, and its widespread use in the 7th Century, stainless machine bolts or screws have grown to become essential in the industrial scene. Over the last few decades, stainless machine screws have undergone amazing changes and have virtually surpassed their industrial use both as fasteners-or binders- as well as essential drilling bits. In this regard, bolts have secured a relatively crucial spot in key industrial sectors and specifically the construction and automobile industry.

Screw is very important within the automobile industry and in fact, they are used to fasten together quite a number of structures in the industry. They are like the 'glue' in cars; they literally hold the car together. Their use in the automobile industry is unlimited. They are for example used to fasten door handles and the car stereo just to mention a few.

The screw vary in size and shape depending on their use. The round head slot, countersunk, cheese head and the pan head slot are the most commonly used machine screw. The use of the screw is determined by its type which is further determined by the shape and size. When working on wood and a seamless fastening is desired as an end result, the countersunk head slot screw is used. Screw does not leave any bulging spaces when it goes into the wood, it leaves a seamless surface.

There are a significant number of fasteners in use today but the most common fall under two main categories the flat heads and the round heads. In this case, some widespread fasteners in use today include the countersunk, cheese head, pan head slot, round head slot among others. For instance the countersunk head slot screw is common with securing hinges in place as it drills all the way into the wood or metal as the head rests flat leaving no protruding surfaces.

Binding or fastening is the most common use of fasteners. As mentioned above, the bolts are used for a number of household applications. However, not all bolts fit the same application. Likewise, not all screws are made from the same material. Nevertheless, despite the material and structural differences between them, the most preferred are stainless machine fasteners.

To install bathtubs and water taps, steel screw is used to fasten such structures. This is because of yet another advantage of steel: it's very durable and does not need replacements every now and then.

Incidentally, almost all drill bits such as the ones found in common rotary drills are made from basic stainless steel drills. Despite the fact that some of the best drilling bolts are crafted from high-end material such as Titanium and industrial diamond, a significant number are made from stainless steel owing to its affordability and sheer strength.

Other than drilling, screws can also be used to make small holes on the walls. They are used to make holes when mounting picture frames, light bulbs and TV just to mention a few. They can also be used to make small holes before plastering a house or when a gaping hole in the house need to be hidden.
