Metric Sizes A4 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw
Metric A4 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screws for Superior Corrosion Resistance
Metric A4 stainless steel socket head cap screws are premium corrosion-resistant fasteners engineered for demanding industrial, marine, and chemical environments. Featuring a cylindrical head and internal hex (Allen) drive, these metric fasteners provide high clamping force while allowing installation in tight or counterbored spaces. When strength and long-term corrosion protection are critical, A4 stainless socket head cap screws deliver reliable performance.
A4 stainless steel is commonly equivalent to 316 stainless steel and contains molybdenum for enhanced resistance to chlorides, saltwater, and aggressive chemicals. This makes A4 socket head cap screws ideal for harsh outdoor and coastal applications.
Metric Size Availability
Metric A4 stainless steel socket head cap screws are available in a wide range of DIN and ISO configurations, including DIN 912 / ISO 4762 standards.
Common metric sizes include:
-
M3 through M30 diameters
-
Standard coarse thread pitch
-
Various standard and custom lengths
These precision metric fasteners ensure consistent thread fit, accurate head dimensions, and reliable torque performance in mechanical assemblies.
