This guide covers information on selecting material for fasteners by looking at different factors to consider and common types of material used on fasteners.
BABYLON, N.Y., Oct. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fastenere.com has announced the release of its latest resource "Choosing the Best Material for Your Fasteners." This resource provides insight into ideal material for fasteners including factors to consider and different types of material to choose from.
Choosing a suitable fastener material is crucial when considering variables like strength, brittleness, and corrosion resistance. It's important to consider how the fastener will be used and the type of fastener needed. Fastener finishes are essential to increase corrosion resistance and for aesthetics, and the three most typical coatings for fastenings are zinc, hot-dip galvanizing, and chromium. Knowing the correct size of fastener needed is vital, and the "M" listed in fastener sizes represents the primary diameter of the screw's most outwardly projecting portion.
"Choosing a sturdy material that can endure the temperatures and has high corrosion resistance for crucial applications exposed to intense temperatures or corrosive conditions is essential," according to Fastenere.com. The ideal fastener material relies on what and where the fastener is needed to connect. Common types of fastener material include aluminum, brass, bronze, steel, titanium, polymers, ceramic, carbon steel, nylon, and tungsten. Steel is the most commonly used material for fasteners and accounts for around 90% of all fastener material.
