What are the advantages and disadvantages of stainless steel screws?

Stainless steel screws usually refer to steel screws that have the ability to resist corrosion from air, water, acids, alkali salts, or other media. Stainless steel screws are generally not easy to rust and are durable, and can be used in fields such as environmental protection equipment, medical equipment, communication equipment, etc.

Stainless steel screws are ubiquitous and often used in our daily lives. Stainless steel screws are very practical. But do you understand some of its advantages and disadvantages? Next, let me take you to understand:

Stainless steel screws

1、 Advantages of stainless steel screws

1. The adaptability is more powerful. For stainless steel screws, if they meet the requirements for male thread size, they can be used. This shows that stainless steel screws are more widely used compared to traditional anchor bolts.

2. The installation is simpler. Previously, traditional anchor bolts were more complex to install, but now stainless steel screws are relatively simple to install, which has improved the convenience for many users.

3. There are fewer problems encountered during installation, and there is no need to be afraid that traditional anchor bolts may tilt when drilling. By analyzing the corrosion resistance and fracture reasons of stainless steel screws, it is possible to directly drill holes and then install them, resulting in a success rate of nearly 100%.

4. The design is novel, which greatly enhances the aesthetics of stainless steel screws.

5. When not in use, there is no problem. As long as the stainless steel screw is used to fill the hole or the excess part is removed, it can ensure safety, is relatively simple, and does not affect the appearance.

6. It can ensure that stainless steel screws have higher performance during installation and greatly improve the utilization of screws.

7. It has good corrosion fatigue resistance and wear corrosion performance, and is used in equipment such as pumps and valves under certain corrosive medium conditions.

2、 Disadvantages of stainless steel screws

1. Although the initial cost is high and the lifecycle cost is low, it is the most cost-effective component solution.

2. It is not suitable for long-term storage or long-term use. It is not resistant to high temperatures and has high production costs. If it encounters acidic solutions and undergoes rust reaction (uncertain), it is easy to stick if it is not disassembled for a long time after locking.

3. It is easy to slip teeth or break when too much force is applied, and its toughness is worse than that of ordinary iron screws.
