Imperial 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws.

What are Imperial 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws?

Imperial 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 load distribution, making these screws ideal for use in softer materials or assemblies requiring a flush, professional finish.

How Imperial 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws Work

The 100-degree countersink creates a larger bearing surface compared to standard 90-degree countersinks, reducing the risk of deformation or damage to softer materials. The hex socket drive allows for precise torque application, ensuring secure and reliable fastening. These screws are designed to sit flush with or below the surface, delivering a smooth and unobtrusive finish in high-precision applications.

The Materials Imperial 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws Are Made From

These screws are available in a variety of premium materials to suit diverse applications:

• A4 Stainless Steel: Exceptional corrosion resistance, ideal for marine and chemically aggressive environments.
• A2 Stainless Steel: A versatile option for general-purpose use, offering strength and durability.
• 17-4PH Stainless Steel: Combines high strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for heavy-duty and high-performance applications.

Each material offers unique advantages, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of environments and performance requirements.

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

Imperial 100 Degree Socket Countersunk Screws are offered in thread sizes ranging from 1/2-13 UNC to 10-32 UNF, catering to both coarse and fine thread requirements. Their versatile design and high-quality materials make them suitable for a variety of industrial and precision engineering projects.

FAQs

Q: Why Choose a 100-Degree Countersunk Head Over a Standard 90-Degree Head?
A: The 100-degree countersunk head provides a larger contact area, reducing pressure on the material and minimising the risk of damage. This makes it ideal for fastening into softer materials or in applications requiring enhanced load distribution.

Q: What Is the Benefit of 17-4PH Stainless Steel?
A: 17-4PH Stainless Steel offers a combination of high strength, hardness and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications, including agricultural and heavy-duty machinery.

Q: Are These Screws Suitable for Outdoor or Marine Applications?
A: Yes, both A4 and A2 Stainless Steel provide excellent corrosion resistance for outdoor use, with A4 Stainless Steel being particularly suited to marine environments.
