    Selecting across stainless-steel grade families

    Austenitic (300 series)
    302 / 304 / 305 / 316 · non-magnetic
    Standard corrosion-resistant grades, non-magnetic, good formability. 304 for general-purpose; 316 for marine, chlorinated, or chemical environments; 305 for cold-heading larger bolts where 304 would work-harden; 302 for high-strength fasteners.
    Ferritic & Martensitic (400 series)
    410 / 420 / 430 · higher strength
    Magnetic stainless grades. 410 / 420 heat-treatable martensitic — higher tensile strength than 304 with moderate corrosion. 430 ferritic for cost-balanced applications where non-magnetic response is not required.
    Precipitation-hardening (SUS 630 / 17-4 PH)
    High strength + corrosion
    17-4 PH combines austenitic corrosion with martensitic strength after age-hardening. Tensile above 1,200 MPa achievable. For aerospace, marine, or aggressive environments where 300-series strength is insufficient.

    Plain / Flat
    Most common · bearing distribution
    Flat washer captive under the head — distributes clamp load and protects soft surfaces from indentation. Most common baseline SEMS configuration across automotive electronic assemblies, harness brackets, and industrial joints. Non-locking; paired with chemical thread-lock, lock nut, or prevailing-torque feature where retention is critical.
    External Tooth
    Anti-rotation · exposed teeth
    Teeth on the outer rim provide maximum grip against the mating surface and the largest torsional resistance. Selected where loosening under vibration is the primary concern and the joint tolerates visible tooth marks.
    Internal Tooth
    Concealed teeth · clean surface
    Teeth face inward — used where tooth marks must be hidden (visible assemblies, painted panels). Requires tight mating-hole diameter to prevent tooth miss-engagement.
    Split Lock (Helical Spring)
    High-vibration · spring tension
    Split-ring geometry provides spring tension against the joint. Selected where the assembly sees continuous low-amplitude vibration. Paired with carbon or hardened spring-steel washers.

  • Polymer Screws for Isolation, Corrosion, and Lightweight Applications

    Plastic Screws

    Thermoplastic-body fasteners — polymer thread, head, and drive formed from engineering plastic. Selected where metal screws cannot meet the requirement: electrical isolation, full corrosion immunity, non-magnetic service, or weight-critical assembly.

    Way Fast supplies standard polymer fasteners (Nylon 6/6 and Polycarbonate catalog sizes) through established factory partnership. Inquiries welcome for applications matching available catalog specs. Engineering-grade polymers (PEEK, PPS, POM, PVDF) are specialty-line items typically sourced outside the Way Fast catalog.
