It is also more malleable than bronze or zinc, as well as having a low melting point and characteristics which make it relatively easy to cast. Countersinking Capability: Many brass woodscrews come with countersinking heads, allowing them to sit flush with the wood surface. This creates a seamless and professional finish while minimising the risk of tripping or snagging. Yellow zinc plating is similar to bright zinc plating (BZP), but adds an iridescent golden sheen. Like BZP, it is applied using a current of electricity and does not increase the fastener size like galvanisation. It also offers some corrosion resistance, but should not be used outdoors or underwater. Yellow zinc is commonly used in the car and automotive industry. Geomet is an improved and modern version of the weather-resistant galvanised finish, which does not change the fastener size. It is comprised of aluminium and zinc flakes in a binder fluid, and does not contain chrome. A layer of Geomet gives a metallic silver appearance, conducts electricity well, and provides optimum anti-corrosion and friction performance. Yellow Zinc Plating Fasteners

Cabinetry and Joinery: Brass woodscrews are commonly used in cabinetry and joinery projects, ensuring reliable fastening for cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and other woodworking components. Rust Resistance: Unlike steel screws, brass wood screws possess natural resistance to rust. This inherent quality allows them to maintain their integrity and functionality over an extended period, making them a more reliable option for furniture and door installations. Sharp Points and Threads: These screws are designed with sharp points and deep threads that allow for easy and precise penetration into wood. The threads provide excellent grip and holding power, ensuring a secure and solid connection.When choosing stainless steel nuts, bolts and screws, consider their environment. A2 is often up to the job, but if you need industrial-strength resistance, A4 can be cost-effective. Like all metals, stainless steel is a relatively good conductor of electricity. Nylon & Plastic Fasteners In addition to this, we have available sash window ironmongery, including sash window furniture, sash window fasteners and sash window pulleys. Our sash window collection includes sash window handles in various finishes, such as polished chrome sash handles, polished brass sash handles and satin chrome sash handles. Sash window fasteners are used to safely fasten sash windows and sash window pulleys are used to smoothly operate sash windows’ rise and fall mechanism. All stainless steel must contain at least 10% chromium, which helps it to resist corrosion. A2 (Type 304) and A4 (Type 316) are both very rust-resistant grades of stainless steel, but A2 can tarnish eventually. A4 is known as ‘marine grade’ stainless steel – it has a better level of corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use with chloride spray, solvents or chemicals. It is a soft, machinable material prone to bending and breaking under high torque loads. To prevent stripping or damage, they require a pre-drilled or tapped hole before installation, ideally with a steel screw. Nylon fasteners are often used in electronics. They’re lightweight, resistant to chemicals and corrosion, and offer a high level of insulation and tensile strength. Plastic nuts, bolts and screws also melt rather than burn – making them ideal for projects where fire-resistance is a priority. However, they’re unsuitable for outdoor use and very high temperatures.

Brass fasteners are primarily an alloy of Copper and Zinc providing anti-rust, non-magnetic and corrosion resistant properties. There are over 60 different types of Brass that host varying characteristics, depending on the alloy proportion and composition. Brass screws and bolts are a popular choice for a range of applications and assemblies due their diverse set of characteristics. This is dependent on the specific type or grade of Brass. We supply a variety of Brass components including screws, nuts, washers and spacers – typically available in either:

Brass Round Slot Metal Thread

Brass is typically a pale tan or gold-like colour – the perfect choice for use in doors, mirrors, or any vintage-style application requiring a decorative and aesthetically pleasing finish. Available now at Fastenright Outdoor Suitability: The corrosion-resistant nature of brass makes these screws suitable for outdoor use. They can withstand exposure to moisture, humidity, and other environmental elements without compromising their performance or appearance. Brass of high grade is the main metal that come in handy with the brass fasteners, the material range from brass rods, hollow pipes or brass metal sheets depending on the product's requirement of manufacture.
