Metal Tapping Screw Round Cross Double Washer SEMS Flat Ended

Metal tapping screw designed for connecting thinner metal objects to one another or connecting metal to wood, plastic, and other materials. Many can start their own pilot hole. SEMS screw combines two separate parts into one pre-assembled, low-cost fastener. With washers under the head, SEMS screw is fast, permanent, and easily adaptable to many applications. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

Cross is also known as Phillips. The Phillips screw drive was created by John P. Thompson, who after failing to interest manufacturers, sold his design to businessman Henry F. Phillips. Phillips is credited with forming a company (Phillips Screw Company), improving the design, and promoting the adoption of his product. Phillips drive bits are often designated by the letters “PH”, plus a size code 0000, 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 (by order of increasing size); the numerical bit size codes do not necessarily correspond to nominal screw size numbers.

Heat treating makes the metal tapping screw high tensile. Heat treating is a group of industrial and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatments are also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as glass. Heat treatment involves the use of heating or chilling, normally to extreme temperatures, to achieve the desired result such as hardening or softening of a material. Heat treatment techniques include annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering, normalizing, and quenching. It is noteworthy that while the term heat treatment applies only to processes where the heating and cooling are done for the specific purpose of altering properties intentionally, heating and cooling often occur incidentally during other manufacturing processes such as hot forming or welding.
