Finish Type | Outdoor construction, marine environments | - Industry: Plain (ASTM A153, 24hr salt spray resistance) - Base: Zinc-plated (ASTM A153, 72hr salt spray resistance) ▲ - Advanced: Black Oxide (ASTM B117, 120hr salt spray resistance) ▲▲ | Enhanced corrosion resistance in corrosive environments. | Advanced finishes may increase cost and require specialized coating processes. |
Material | Heavy-duty industrial applications | - Industry: C1022 steel (Yield strength: 250 MPa) - Base: 1045 steel (Yield strength: 300 MPa) ▲ - Advanced: 4140 steel (Yield strength: 350 MPa) ▲▲ | Higher strength for demanding applications. | Advanced materials may be harder to machine and more expensive. |
Thread Size | Precision engineering, automotive assembly | - Industry: M3.5 (Pitch: 0.60mm, ISO 261) - Base: M3.9 (Pitch: 0.65mm, ISO 261) ▲ - Advanced: Custom thread sizes (e.g., M4.2, per customer specs) ▲▲ | Custom thread sizes for specialized fits. | Non-standard threads may require custom tools. |
Standards Compliance | International projects requiring certification | - Industry: DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) - Base: ANSI (American National Standards Institute) ▲ - Advanced: Dual compliance (DIN + ANSI) ▲▲ | Dual compliance for global projects. | Dual certification adds cost. |
Head Type | Furniture assembly, flush finishes | - Industry: Flat head (countersinks to surface level) - Base: Button head (protrudes slightly for easy removal) ▲ - Advanced: Hex washer head (combines torque resistance with flat seating) ▲▲ | Hex washer head offers better torque resistance. | Specialized tools needed for hex heads. |
Length Options | Varying material thicknesses | - Industry: 25mm (common for standard materials) - Base: 35mm (for thicker materials) ▲ - Advanced: Custom lengths (up to 55mm) ▲▲ | Custom lengths for deep fastening needs. | Custom lengths may have longer lead times. |
