Stainless Steel 316 Machine Screw, Flat Head, Phillips Drive, #8-32, 1/2" Length (Pack of 25) Feature

• Machine Screws are often used with nuts or driven into tapped holes
• Stainless Steel 316 is suitable for use where Stainless Steel 304 does not provide enough corrosion resistance
• Flat head style allows fastener to sit flush to the surface
• Phillips drive is designed to cam out under too much torque
• Coarse threads are better for brittle materials, and will assemble and disassemble more quickly than fine threads

Machine Screws, also referred to as Machine Bolts, are often used with nuts or driven into tapped holes. They come in a variety of head types and drive styles, but are generally available in smaller sizes.

Stainless steels are used for their corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, scaling resistance, and low-temperature toughness. These properties account for their extremely wide use in practically every industry. Austenitic Stainless Steels are alloys of iron and carbon that contain between 16% and 30% Chromium, a maximum of 0.15% carbon, along with Nickel (or Manganese), and other alloying elements. The chromium, which helps develop a passive surface oxide film, provides corrosion resistance in stainless steels. Austenitic Stainless Steels are designated by a 3 digit SAE Stainless Steel Grade beginning with the number 3 (e.g. 304, 316).

Stainless Steel 316 has a higher nickel and molybdenum content than most Austenitic stainless steels which means that this material offers more corrosion resistance without giving up strength or hardness. Tensile strength is 35,000 psi (pounds per square inch).

Flat head fasteners are designed to fit flush to the surface when used with countersunk holes. Length is measured from the top of the head. The Phillips drive style was originally designed so that the driver would slip out under extreme torque, preventing over-tightening and damage to the fastener or the material.

A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.
