Specialty Screws: Custom-designed screws for unique applications, including security screws, pocket hole screws, and more. Washers are used to provide protection for materials at a join and to provide secure seals. We offer standard washers in steel alloys, carbon steel, stainless steel alloys, Hastalloy®, Inconel®, Incoloy®, Monel®, silicon bronze, titanium, brass and nickel as well as rare and exotic materials for specialty applications. Yellow zinc, Xylan®, Cadmium, hot dipped galvanized plating and specialty coatings are offered for custom coating and finishing. Our staff will work with you to select the washer and material that will meet your requirements.
Quality Assurance: Manufacturers use salt spray testing to ensure that custom automotive fasteners meet the required quality and performance standards. It helps ensure that products will function reliably over time, reducing the risk of failure due to rust, corrosion, or material degradation. Compliance with Industry Standards: Certain industries, particularly automotive and aerospace, have strict regulations and standards that require fasteners to undergo salt spray testing. Meeting these standards ensures that the products are safe and reliable in their applications.
Powder Coating: While slightly more expensive, powder coating is ideal for outdoor applications and products that require both durability and color variety. It’s a good choice for clients seeking a long-lasting, high-quality finish. The Right Surface Treatment for Your Screws – When producing custom machine screws for customers, aesthetics are crucial, and selecting the right surface treatment is essential for achieving the desired look while maintaining functionality. Depending on the client’s needs, surface treatments such as zinc plating, black oxide, anodizing, or powder coating can be used to enhance both the visual appeal and performance of the screws.
Types of Washers – Washers come in various shapes and materials, each with its unique properties and applications. Some common types include: Flat washers: These are the most common type, providing a larger bearing surface to distribute the fastener load evenly. Lock washers: These washers help prevent nuts and bolts from loosening due to vibration. They come in various forms, such as split lock washers and tooth lock washers. Fender washers: These have a larger outer diameter than standard washers, making them ideal for use with thin sheet metal or oversized holes. Applications of Washers – Washers are used in conjunction with nuts and bolts in a wide range of applications. Find many more details on jm-fastener.com.
Critical Safety Applications: In applications where safety is critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices, bolts provide a more reliable and secure connection. The ability to use high-strength materials and locking mechanisms ensures that the connection remains intact under various conditions. While both bolts and screws have their place in fastening applications, bolts offer distinct advantages that make them the preferred choice for many scenarios. The higher load-bearing capacity, better clamping force, ease of disassembly and reassembly, uniform load distribution, versatility, enhanced security, and compatibility with high-strength applications make bolts superior in demanding environments.
Stainless steel bolts are highly resistant to rust and corrosion due to the presence of chromium, which forms a passive oxide layer on the surface, protecting the underlying metal from oxidation. Types of stainless steel commonly used for bolts include austenitic grades such as 18-8 (304) and 316, which offer excellent corrosion resistance in marine and harsh environments. Galvanized bolts are coated with a layer of zinc through a hot-dip galvanizing process, providing a sacrificial barrier against corrosion. The zinc coating prevents moisture and corrosive substances from reaching the underlying steel substrate, significantly extending the lifespan of the bolt.
