Metric 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws.

What are Metric 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws?

Metric 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws are precision-engineered fasteners designed with a 100-degree countersunk head and a hexagonal socket drive. The wider angle of the countersink provides increased contact area, making these screws ideal for fastening softer materials or spreading load over a larger surface area.

How Metric 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws Work

The 100-degree countersunk head ensures the screw sits flush with or below the surface, reducing interference and creating a smooth finish. This design is particularly effective for distributing load in softer materials, preventing deformation or damage. The hex socket drive allows for precise torque application, ensuring secure and reliable fastening in critical assemblies.

The Materials Metric 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws Are Made From

These screws are crafted from A4 Marine Stainless Steel, renowned for its outstanding resistance to corrosion and durability in harsh conditions. This makes them an excellent choice for marine, chemical and outdoor applications where exposure to moisture or corrosive elements is common.

The Sizes and Types of Metric 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws Available

Metric 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws are available in thread sizes ranging from M3 to M12, accommodating a wide range of applications. The combination of the 100-degree countersink and hex socket drive ensures these screws are versatile and suitable for both general and specialised projects.

FAQs

Q: Why Use a 100-Degree Countersunk Head?
A: The 100-degree countersunk head offers a larger contact area than standard countersinks, reducing pressure on softer materials and providing a more secure fastening without damaging the surface.

Q: Are These Screws Suitable for Use in Marine Environments?
A: Yes, the A4 Marine Stainless Steel material is specifically designed to resist saltwater corrosion, making these screws ideal for marine and other harsh environments.

Q: What Applications Benefit from 100-Degree Countersunk Screws?
A: These screws are perfect for assemblies involving softer materials or where a flush finish is required. They are commonly used in marine equipment, woodworking and precision engineering.
