Materials and Finishes
Socket Head Cap Screws come in grades matched to the load, from carbon steel through high-strength alloy and corrosion-resistant stainless, with finishes from plain and zinc through hot-dip galvanized for outdoor and washdown service. Pair them with made in the USA, industries, and Finished Hex Nuts to round out the assembly.
How to Choose
Match the grade to the working load and the finish to the environment after locking in diameter, thread pitch, and length. Harsh or corrosive settings call for alloy or stainless.
