The Reason Why Stainless Steel Screws Break

As we all know, all screws have a grade, which is determined by the tensile strength and shear strength of the screw. Stainless steel screws may break due to tensile or shear forces exceeding the ultimate strength of the stainless steel screws unless there is a problem with the screws themselves.

As a professional fastener manufacturer, Xinchi is happy to analyze the reasons for the breakage of stainless steel screws for you.

Stainless steel screws usually refer to steel screws that can resist the corrosion of air, water, acid, alkali salt or other media. Depending on the alloy composition, stainless steel screws can focus on rust resistance or acid resistance. Although some steels are stainless, they are not necessarily acid-resistant, and acid-resistant steels usually have stainless properties.

The reasons for the breakage of stainless steel screws can be the following:

Screw quality problem.

Insufficient strength of screws.

The pre-tightening torque of the screw is inappropriate.

The fatigue strength of the screws is not enough. Factors such as unqualified material of screws, improper heat treatment, unqualified product manufacturing process, unreasonable selection of stainless steel screws, and harsh use environment may directly affect the fracture of screws.
