The Role of Washers

Design Features

The term 2% self-drilling screws generally refers to a specific classification or standard that adheres to a manufacturing specification, often denoting the composition or performance traits of the screws. The 2% might relate to various factors such as the percentage of alloying elements in the material, or guidelines that measure performance under certain conditions. For instance, these screws might contain 2% alloying elements that enhance their strength and corrosion resistance.

1. Material and Coating Fasteners should be made from materials that resist corrosion and wear, especially if the finished product is subjected to moisture. Coated fasteners, such as zinc or epoxy-coated, can offer additional protection.

3. Alignment Ensure that materials are aligned correctly before driving the screw to maintain a flush finish and prevent potential damage.

Selecting the Right Tek Screw

4. Versatility Countersunk self-drilling screws can be used in a wide variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, making them an incredibly versatile choice for builders and manufacturers alike.
