Screw Type
   Screw Type       
   Your choices are...         
   Cap Screw       Cap screws are fasteners for machine parts. They are designed to be threaded into tapped holes. There are many different head styles for cap screws. Flat head, socket head, round head, and hex head styles are the most common types. Cap screws have a fairly wide shoulder for holding fast to an object, but may not be threaded over their full body length.    
   Dry Wall Screw       Dry wall screws are flat headed, coarse threaded screws used to hold sheet rock to wall studs. 
   Lag Screw       Lag screws have square or hexagon heads for driving with a wrench and a course-pitch threaded body.  They are designed for fastening wood and similar materials and producing their own screw thread when tightened.  They are also referred to as lag bolts. 
   Machine Screw       Machine screws are fully threaded small caliber screws for joining metal parts. They either are screwed into pre-threaded holes or can also be fitted with a nut.  They are also referred to as machine bolts. 
   Sheet Metal Screw       Sheet metal screws are used to fasten sheets of thin metal together. They also used to fasten wood or plastic to metal. Sheet metal screws are fully threaded from the point to the head. 
   Self Drilling / Thread Cutting Screw       A self-drilling or thread-cutting screw has a point like a drill bit and bores its own hole, eliminating the need for a pre-drilled hole. 
   Set Screw       A set screw is a small, threaded rod that is used to fix a device such as a pulley to a rotating shaft. Set screws are available with socket and slotted drive types. 
   Shoulder Screw       A shoulder screw has an unthreaded shank that is long in comparison to its threaded portion, which is located under the head. Shoulder screws are used to attach one machine part to another, or as a plain bearing in places where rotary or sliding motion is required. Precision shoulder screws are manufactured with varying diameters and shoulder length tolerances. Shoulder screws are also referred to as shoulder bolts or stripper bolts. 
   Tamperproof Screw       Tamperproof screws are designed so they can be tightened, but not loosened. Special tools are required to drive them. Typically, tamperproof screws are used in areas where security is important.  
   Thumb Screw       A thumbscrew is a hand-tightened fastener used in applications where there is frequent fastening and unfastening. They are not suitable for high-tension applications. 
   Wood Screw       Wood screws are fully-threaded, tapered fasteners. They have oval, round or flat heads. 
   Other       Other, unlisted, or proprietary screw types.

Material
   Material       
   Your choices are...         
   Aluminum       Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent, metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.  Aluminum is lighter than steel, but not as strong. 
   Brass       Brass provides good strength, excellent high-temperature ductility, reasonable cold ductility, good conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, good bearing properties and low magnetic permeability. 
   Bronze / Copper Base Alloy       A copper base alloy is metal composed of copper as the main alloying metal and one or more other metals, such as tin, zinc, or phosphorus. Silicon bronze is one typical fastener alloy. 
   Copper       Copper is a common, reddish, metallic element that is both ductile and malleable. Copper is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. It also exhibits good corrosion resistance. 
   Molybdenum       Molybdenum is a chemical element with the symbol Mo and an atomic number of 42. Molybdenum has a very high melting point (the sixth highest of any element) and is commonly used in high-strength steel alloys. 
   Plastic       Products are made of thermoplastic materials. 
   Steel       Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. Many grades of carbon and alloy steels are used as fastener materials. Steel may require coating for protection against corrosion. 
   Hardened Steel       Steel can be hardened in a number of ways. Methods include quenching techniques in oil and water, and passing the steel through induction chambers. During processing, the rapid cooling of steel freezes, traps and packs the carbon atoms inside the shrunken iron crystals. The resulting steel is very hard and brittle. Hardened steel is strong, but cannot absorb much shock or impact without breaking. 
   Stainless Steel       Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high stress ratings. Many grades are used in fasteners. Often, stainless steel does not require an anti-corrosion coating; however, most stainless steels cannot be hardened to the same degree as carbon steels. 
   Superalloy       Superalloys are high-performance alloys that exhibit the following features: mechanical strength, good surface stability, resistance to corrosion and oxidation, and resistance to creep at high temperatures. Common superalloys include Hastelloy®, Inconel®, Incoloy®, and Monel®. The attributes of Hastelloy® alloys include high resistance to uniform attack and localized corrosion resistance. It also provides stress corrosion cracking resistance, and ease of welding and fabrication. Hastelloy is a registered trademark of Haynes International, Inc. Inconel® and Incoloy® (Special Metals Corporation) provide good strength and excellent resistance to oxidation and carbonization in high temperatures environments, and in many aqueous environments. These proprietary materials are used in process piping, heat exchangers, heating element sheathing and nuclear steam generator tubing. Typically, Inconel and Incoloy are used at service temperatures below 650° C (1200° F). Monel® (Special Metals Corporation) is a proprietary, high-strength alloy that offers resistance to a range of corrosive media, including seawater, hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids, and alkalis.  
   Titanium       Titanium is a hard, lustrous, silvery element that is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust. It is valued for its lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance. Titanium is used widely in the aerospace industry and in medical products such as replacement joints. When alloyed with other metals, especially steel, titanium adds strength and oxidation resistance. 
   Other       Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary metallic materials.

Fastener Standards
   Fastener Standards       
   Your choices are...         
   AIA / NAS       Dimensional and material standards for aircraft fasteners are developed by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and/or its National Aerospace Standards Committee (NASC). All drawings and specifications have a NAS or NASM prefix. NAS is an acronym for National Aerospace Standards. NASM is an acronym for National Aerospace Standards, Metric. 
   AN / MS       Dimensional standards for aircraft fasteners are developed by the Aeronautical Standards Group. All drawings have a prefix of AN or MS. Products are suitable for army, navy, or air force use.  
   ASME / ANSI       The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B18 standard specifies all ASME B18 fastener products with a single 18-digit PIN code system. Approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense, the ASME B18.24 PIN system is a self-contained code that covers 788 unique B18 fastener types from 72 ASME B18 source documents. The PIN code system is fully parametric, uniform across all fastener types, and is intended as a digital alternative to the traditional plain text fastener product callout prescribed in the "Designation" or "Ordering" section of the applicable source document. 
   BS       Dimensional and material standards developed by the British Standards Institution. Standards are designated with a BS prefix. The British Standards International (BSI) Kitemark indicates that products are tested regularly against the requirements of an appropriate BSI standard, and that the manufacturer's quality system is assessed at least twice a year to ensure continued quality production.  
   DIN       DIN is an acronym for Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), a German national organization for standardization. Most metric fasteners are manufactured according to DIN standards. Although DIN predates the International Standards Organizations (ISO), DIN standards are being revised to more closely match ISO standards. Ordering DIN fasteners requires three pieces of information: the DIN identifier, which defines the style of the fastener; the material (e.g., 8.8 Steel, 316 Stainless, Hastelloy C276); and the coating or plating (if any). 
   ISO       The International Standards Organization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards organizations from over 100 countries. ISO's mission is to facilitate the international exchange of goods and services, and to foster cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, technological, and economic activity. ISO standards for metric fasteners are gaining recognition rapidly. They will probably become global standards. 
   JIS       Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) is largely based on DIN; however, some standards have been modified to meet the needs of the Japanese market. Most of the fasteners used in electronic equipment manufactured in Japan comply with the JIS standard. 
   SAE       Fasteners meet standards developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), a worldwide organization that establishes industry standards for the testing, measurement, and design of automobiles and their components. 
   Other       Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary fastener standards.
