A Guide To What You Can Do With Stainless Machine Screws

By Jocelyn Davidson


Screws have been in existence for quite a long time now. Ever since the discovery of the Archimedes Screw back in the 7th Century and its remarkable ability to lift water, stainless machine screws have tremendously outgrown their uses. Over the last century, these fasteners have found a special place in the industrial world and especially the construction and automobile industry. In this case, it is very common to see bolts being used in virtually all basic fastenings and drilling operations.

In examining the key uses and specifically stainless fasteners, first it is important to realize where they are used in large scale application and in this case the construction and the automobile industry. In the construction industry, fasteners are used to fasten and to hold structures together. For instance, these bolts are used to hold down electrical equipment such as air conditioners and fans as well as TV screen stands and chandeliers.

Likewise, stainless machine fasteners are equally important in the automobile industry when it comes to binding and securing objects in place. In this case for example, bolts are usually used to fasten hoses to engine mountings, fastening door handles in place among other uses. Generally, apart from using nuts and bolts, these fasteners in the automobile industry are used to hold together essential building blocks of the car.

The screw is mainly used for fastening or binding. As mentioned earlier, bolts have unlimited uses and their uses extends even to household applications. However, it is good to note that every screw comes with its own specification that suits a specific use in the house. Screw vary not only in size and shape but also in the materials used to make them. All in all, stainless steel material is the most common material used to make screws of all types.

These fasteners are commonly used to fasten objects together as mentioned above. In this case, when it comes to holding common household appliances in place where ordinary nails fail, fasteners become the next best alternative. However, as with common steel nails, the best fasteners are usually made out of stainless steel because of two key reasons; strength and affordability.

Owing to the high tensile nature of steel and its rust-proof ability, it makes it the perfect material for forging fasteners. In this regard, steel bolts provide the best binding for metal and wood products which in most cases are exposed to moisture and weather elements. Similarly, such fasteners are used to fasten structures such as bathtubs and water taps in place. The good thing with steel is that it is durable and does not require frequent replacement.

Drilling is yet another use of fasteners apart from fastening things together. It is imperative to note that virtually all drills use screws as the key component for making holes. In this case, drill heads such as the ones found in common rotary drills are usually derived from basic screw characteristics. In addition, while some of these drills use high-end material such as Titanium and Cobalt, a good number use stainless machine fasteners. In this regard, apart from the strength, steel fasteners are also affordable and easily accessible.

Apart from mainstream drilling, simple fasteners are also used to puncture small holes in walls. In this case, such screws are commonly used to make mounting holes for picture frames, wall mountings for TV sets and light bulbs among other uses. Similarly, such fasteners are also used to plug small holes prior to plastering a house or simply just hiding a gaping hole in a hose.
