Common Materials Used in Screw Kits

When selecting materials for a screw kit, our design team considers strength, corrosion resistance, cost, and application conditions. In our typical product offerings, we use stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, aluminum, titanium, and nylon. Each material has its own performance profile, and our material choices are guided by the real-world demands of our customers.


Detailed Material Parameter Table

Below is a detailed parameter table of common materials used in screw kits manufactured in our lines:

Material Typical Tensile Strength Corrosion Resistance Hardness Typical Applications
Stainless Steel (A2/A4) 500–700 MPa Excellent (resists rust and oxidation) HV 150–300 Marine, food, chemical, outdoor assemblies
Carbon Steel (Grade 4.8/8.8) 400–900 MPa Low to moderate (requires coating) HV 200–350 Construction, automotive, machinery
Brass 200–400 MPa Good (natural resistance) HV 80–120 Decorative, electrical, plumbing
Aluminum (e.g., 6061) 200–350 MPa Moderate (anodize for protection) HV 50–120 Aerospace, electronics, lightweight assemblies
Titanium (Grade 5) 900–1100 MPa Excellent (very resistant) HV 300–380 Aerospace, medical, high-performance applications
Nylon / Plastic 60–120 MPa Good (non‑metal, resists corrosion) Shore D 60–80 Electronics, lightweight, non-conductive needs

Advantages of Each Material

Each material brings its own set of benefits, and understanding those helps our customers select the right screw kit. For example, stainless steel screw versions offer superior corrosion resistance and durability. Carbon steel provides high strength at a lower cost, though it often requires anti‑rust coating. Brass fasteners are ideal where aesthetics and electrical conductivity matter, while aluminum screws keep assemblies lightweight. Titanium is chosen for high-stress and high-temperature environments, and nylon offers insulation and chemical inertness.

Our customers appreciate that we can tailor these material options to their exact needs, delivering screw kits with performance characteristics optimized for their industries. In our factory, we run fatigue tests, salt spray tests, and mechanical loading trials so that when you choose a screw kit from us, you are getting a reliable, fit-for-purpose solution.


Quality Assurance and Manufacturing Standards

At Ningbo Qihong Stainless Steel Co., Ltd., quality assurance is at the heart of everything we do. Our production process begins with raw‑material certification for every batch, whether stainless steel, titanium, or nylon. Our factory performs chemical composition analysis and heat-treatment control. For stainless steel screw kits, we verify hardness and tensile strength to ensure they meet spec.

We also carry out rigorous corrosion tests, including neutral salt spray tests, to validate the performance of our stainless and carbon steel kits. Our factory is regularly audited for ISO standard compliance. As a result, customers can rely on the long-term reliability and structural integrity of their fastening solutions when they source from us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What materials are screw kits made from?
A: Screw kits are commonly made from stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, aluminum, titanium, and sometimes nylon, each chosen based on application needs like strength, corrosion resistance, and conductivity.

Q: Why would I choose stainless steel over carbon steel for my screw kit?
A: Stainless steel screw kits offer far greater corrosion resistance and longer lifespan in harsh environments, whereas carbon steel is stronger per cost but needs protective coatings to prevent rust.

Q: Can screw kits be made from non‑metal materials like nylon?
A: Yes, nylon kits exist and are favored when electrical insulation, light weight, or chemical inertness is required, though their mechanical strength is lower compared to metal kits.
