The Difference Between Stainless Steel And Carbon Steel Screws
Stainless steel screws and carbon steel screws are common fasteners and are also widely used screw types. They have their characteristics, and as a professional fastener manufacturer, XINCHI is glad to help you understand the difference between them.
- Carbon steel screws are not specially added alloy elements of steel, and stainless steel screws are by adding high alloy content of steel to achieve rust resistance.
- The price of stainless steel screws is much higher than that of carbon steel screws, mainly because of the high cost of stainless steel materials. The properties of stainless steel materials are superior to carbon steel materials, so the price is proportional to the quality.
- The application fields of these two kinds of screws are different, and the advantages and disadvantages can not be compared. Carbon steel screws usually have higher strength but are prone to rust.
- Stainless steel screws and carbon steel screws are made of different materials, respectively using stainless steel materials and carbon steel materials. Stainless steel materials include austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, martensitic stainless steel and precipitation-hardened stainless steel. In contrast, carbon steel materials include low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel and high-carbon steel screws and other types.
