Metal Tapping Screws

Made in China metal tapping screws is produced by Xiamen Huimei. With durable material, precise threads and superior performance, it has become the preferred fastener for various industries. The self-tapping screw tail design allows self boring screws to easily penetrate wood, plastic or thin metal sheets.

Our technical analysis

According to multiple salt spray test data, we found the stainless steel material used has 1 times higher corrosion resistance than ordinary screws. And we used grooves on metal tapping screws head to prevent tool slipping during use.

How can we solve customer difficulties?

A chemical plant customer needed customized metal tapping screws because their ordinary screws corroded after 3 months of use. Based on their needs, we recommended 316 stainless steel with Dacromet coating, extending stainless steel self-drilling screws lifespan by 5 years and saving customers more maintenance time costs.

Why choose our design

Compared to ordinary screws, we changed the pitch on stainless steel screws for outdoor use to reduce installation resistance and effectively improve installation speed.

If you need to change self screw plasterboard fixings installation position, our self-tapping screws metal to wood can maintain similar fixing force even after 5 uses.

To ensure your safety, we deburr every self tapping screws thick metal before leaving factory to prevent hand cuts during use.

Ordinary screws cannot be applied to multiple locations, and there is a high risk of breakage when used on metal materials. Different materials correspond to different usage environments, and you can choose the one that suits you based on actual needs and budget costs.
