Brass Oval Head Machine Screws Slotted Solid Half Countersunk Raised Communicator Fasteners All Threads Rods Supplier Manufacturer

The brass oval head machine screws have a decorative screw head with a countersunk bottom and rounded top. Also known as “raised countersunk” (UK). The screws have a uniform diameter the entire length of the shaft as opposed to tapered screws that have a pointed tip. They are used to fasten machine components, appliances, and more. Ever Hardware provides custom-made brass oval head machine screws and customizable packaging.

The slot screw drive has a single slot in the fastener head and is driven by a “common blade” or flat-bladed screwdriver. It was the first type of screw drive to be developed, and for centuries it was the simplest and cheapest to make. The slotted screw is common in simple woodworking applications but is not often seen in applications where a power tool would be used because a power driver tends to slip out of the head, potentially damaging the surrounding material. The tool used to drive a slot is called a common blade, standard, flat-blade, slot-head, flat-tip, or “flat-head/flathead” screwdriver.
Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties. It is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two constituents may replace each other within the same crystal structure.
By comparison, bronze is principally an alloy of copper and tin. However, bronze and brass may also include small proportions of a range of other elements including arsenic, phosphorus, aluminium, manganese, and silicon. The term is also applied to a variety of brasses, and the distinction is largely historical. Modern practice in museums and archaeology increasingly avoids both terms for historical objects in favor of the all-embracing “copper alloy”.
