high tensile tek screws

The design of the M16 foundation bolt has evolved over the years, with improvements focusing on enhancing reliability and durability. Early versions of the M16 experienced issues with jamming and fouling, particularly in the harsh environments encountered during the Vietnam War. In response to these challenges, the foundation bolt was modified to incorporate better materials and improved engineering techniques. The introduction of a chrome-plated bolt carrier was one of the significant advancements, reducing friction, enhancing corrosion resistance, and improving overall cleaning ease.

First and foremost, SDS acts as a wetting agent, allowing the screw material to adhere more effectively to the mold during the casting process. This is particularly important in the production of large screws or those with complex geometries, where proper adhesion is essential for uniform filling and the formation of a strong, defect-free screw. By reducing the surface tension of the molten metal, SDS enables it to spread evenly across the mold cavity, resulting in a more consistent and higher-quality screw.
