What are Shop By Material?

At Accu, we love giving our customers the choices they need and want to allow them to shop for precision screws by the specific materials needed for their projects.

Our screw material selection section empowers you to find the best material for screws for your specific needs by selecting from a variety of high-quality screw material types.

Whether you're working on a high-tech aerospace project, a medical device or a simple home repair, choosing the right screw material can make all the difference in the performance and longevity of your assembly.

Screw Materials Available

In our range, we've highlighted some of the most popular screw materials that we offer combined with the largest array of head and drive types, allowing you to select the right type of screw in the material you need. Here's a quick overview.

Aluminum

Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, aluminium screws are among the best materials for screws when weight reduction is crucial without compromising strength.

Stainless Steel

Known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength, stainless steel screws are considered the best screw material for outdoor use and environments exposed to moisture or chemicals, ensuring long-lasting durability.

Titanium

Offering the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal, titanium screws are essential for high-performance applications, including aerospace and medical devices, where both strength and weight are critical factors.

RENY

A high-performance engineering plastic, RENY provides excellent mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability, making it suitable for demanding environments.

Nylon

Nylon screws are non-conductive, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion and chemicals, making them a great choice for electrical applications and environments where metal screws may fail.

PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone)

PEEK screws are known for their exceptional chemical resistance, high-temperature stability and mechanical strength, making them perfect for the most demanding engineering applications where electrical conductivity is also a concern.

Material Type For Any Project

Choosing the right material for your screws is essential for the success of any project. Different screw material types offer unique benefits, ensuring that your screws not only fit the technical requirements but also enhance the performance and longevity of your assembly.

By selecting the appropriate screw material, you can achieve optimal results, whether you need corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, lightweight properties or chemical resistance. This careful screw material selection can make a significant difference in project outcomes.
