Zinc Plated Button Head Hex Socket Screws

Zinc plating provides better corrosion resistance than an untreated steel surface. Zinc-plated button head hex socket screws are also easy to recognize by their bright or silver-colored appearance.

They are commonly used in machinery, furniture, equipment, and general fastening applications.

Nickel Plated Button Head Hex Socket Screws

Nickel plating gives button head hex socket screws a smooth, bright surface and adds protection against corrosion and wear.

It can be a good option when both appearance and surface performance are important.

Choosing the Right Finish for Button Head Hex Socket Screws

The choice of finish mainly depends on the application. Black oxide button head hex socket screws are suitable for many indoor applications, while zinc plating is often chosen when better corrosion resistance is needed. Nickel plating is an option when a brighter appearance and additional surface protection are required.

When ordering button head hex socket screws, the material, strength grade, finish, size, and application should be confirmed together.
