Combined, they dictate the Driver and security of the screw, in some cases, even ensuring that a screw maintains its straight body. With ample rotational force is applied, it is the point of a screw that first forces an opening into your substrate and the thread that will catch on and lever its way further along.
When it comes to threads , it is important to know a few common terms:. TPI - Threads per Inch. Pitch - The incline of the thread. Internal threads - mainly on nuts. External threads - mainly on bolts or screws. Machine Screw Threads - used on bolts, setscrews, machine screws and designed to mate with preformed threads in nuts or tapped holes. Spaced Threads - used on woodscrews, self-tapping screws, coach screws, and Type 25 thread cutters. Designed to form its own thread, usually in a pre-drilled hole.
Some threads are "self-tapping" which means that they will cut their own way down. Other screws, like machine screws, require that your hole be pre-tapped with a matching set of threads , or already have its matching thread cut into the hole which you are screwing into.
Below are a few common thread types. Screw points are available in a variety of shapes, each catered to an in-depth range of applications. Screw Points are required for hole alignment, the initial entry into the material and as a means of locking against an item. Below we showcase the 5 most common point types. Likewise, you can refer to the more in-depth article on screw configurations Coming Soon! Now that we have a better understanding of what a Screw is made of in its parts , we have to understand the types of screws and the variations most commonly available.
Below are some of the more commonly used variations of today:. Wood Screws, in their simplest form, are a single-threaded screw type. These screws generally have a flat or oval head, utilizing a smaller TPI and a more aggressive pitch. Machine Screws are used in pre-tapped holes or pre-drilled holes for machine screws which are self-tapping. These screws will have a higher TPI and a less aggressive pitch for each thread. Plastic Screws Coarse have sharply angled threads with round shanks to provide maximum holding strength with minimal stress.
Drywall Screws are a twin-fast double-helix type screw which has a medium TPI with an aggressive pitch. They tend to be hard, brittle types of screws that are not good against corrosion. The material used depends on the defined method usage. Some common metal-based materials are:. Silicon bronze - used in marine environments and are highly corrosion resistant. Stainless steel - Highly corrosion-resistant material. Zinc coated steel - Zinc is great against copper corrosion and acts as a sacrificial shell.
The Zinc material will rust before the metal underneath. Brass - Soft metal and suitable for woodwork. Steel screws will generally have been treated with an oil coating to increase their shelf life, this, however, will not act as effective corrosion protection. On the other hand, Stainless Steel, Brass, and non-metallic screws have sufficient corrosion protection in normal applications.
Should your Screws be used in a more advanced application, they will need to be coated to be able to withstand corrosion. Aside from the application, the coating and material will also depend heavily on the location and environment where they are designed to be used. Nuts such hex nuts and cap nuts can be found here. Washers such as stainless steel washer can be found here. You can find the following too. Show: 16 22 44 All.
