Carbon Steel Self-Drilling Screws
Product Overview
This screw is an integrated self-drilling and self-tapping fastener with a nominal thread diameter of 5.0mm, featuring 12 threads per inch (coarse thread) and a total length of 50mm. The product is made of high-carbon steel heat-treated base material, with a countersunk internal square head, a specialized drill-tail tip, and a zinc-nickel alloy anti-corrosion coating. It completes drilling, tapping, and locking in one step. The countersunk installation can be fully embedded into the panel surface, integrating anti-theft locking, high-strength engagement, and long-term rust prevention. It primarily targets medium-to-high-end fastening needs for outdoor high-corrosion environments, multi-layer plates, and scenarios requiring anti-tamper security.
Product Applications
Suitable for high salt spray outdoor anti-corrosion projects like coastal photovoltaic mounts, steel structure rain sheds, farming greenhouses, and wharf sheet metal.
Can be used for municipal railings, outdoor distribution boxes, outdoor billboards, and playground equipment assembly that requires anti-theft fixation.
Also fits multi-layer panel hidden fastening tasks such as color steel + insulation cotton + wood square composite walls, light steel keels, exterior wall decorative boards, and outdoor electromechanical sheet metal.
Product Features
Strong Specification Adaptability: 5.0mm rod provides balanced load capacity; 12-thread coarse thread pitch is deeper, offering strong engagement with plates that resists stripping. 50mm total length fits multi-layer composite substrates up to 42mm thick, providing excellent fixation for mixed steel-wood panels.
Square Drive Flat Head Dual Advantage: Internal square drive slot bears stress evenly, resisting stripping under high-power electric tightening. It can only be removed with a specialized bit, providing an anti-theft effect. The countersunk design ensures the panel surface is flat with no protrusions after locking, preventing water accumulation and snagging, balancing aesthetics and waterproofing.
Efficient Self-Drilling Construction: Drill tail features a cutting edge and chip-clearing flute, allowing direct penetration of thin steel plates and color steel plates without pre-drilling, simplifying construction steps and significantly increasing installation efficiency.
Outstanding Anti-Corrosion: Zinc-nickel alloy coating provides salt spray and acid/alkali resistance far superior to standard galvanized screws. Low hydrogen embrittlement process suits high-strength carbon steel, preventing rust in long-term outdoor exposure or coastal salt spray environments and significantly extending service life.
Stable Mechanical Performance: Balanced hardness/softness ratio of base material: sufficient drill-tail hardness for cutting, and rod toughness to provide high pull-out resistance, ensuring no breakage or loosening during long-term use.
