Military Spec Socket Screws
Material & Finish Options for MS Socket Screws at ECS Fasteners
At ECS Fasteners, we distribute a wide range of military-spec fasteners manufactured from premium materials and precise specifications for high-performance applications. Our in-stock MS socket screws include fine and coarse threading options, with various material and coating options available.300-Series 18-8 Stainless Steel – NAS1351/MS16996 & NAS1352/MS16995
18-8 stainless steel socket screws feature high strength and good corrosion resistance, containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel. While not as robust and corrosion-resistant as A286, 18-8 stainless steel provides a reliable, strong, and cost-effective material for military-spec fasteners, ideal for applications that don’t require the level of corrosion resistance that A286 provides.A286 Stainless Alloy – NAS1351 & NAS1352
A286 stainless steel is a high-strength austenitic alloy with exceptional corrosion and heat resistance. A286 can maintain its mechanical properties at temperatures up to 1300°F (704°C). It also provides excellent resistance to oxidation, making it suitable for use in gas turbine engine components, exhaust systems, and heat exchangers. A286 socket screws are commonly used in aerospace and industrial applications requiring high strength and exceptional corrosion resistance. The alloy's unique combination of properties, including strength, durability, and heat resistance, make it an ideal choice for demanding applications.Cadmium-Yellow Finish – MS16997
Cadmium-yellow MS socket screws are coated with a layer of cadmium and then treated with a yellow chromate conversion coating. The cadmium coating provides several advanced benefits, including outstanding corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, and low friction. Cadmium also has a high melting point, which allows cadmium-yellow-coated fasteners to maintain their properties at high temperatures. It should be noted that cadmium is a toxic material, and the use of cadmium-yellow fasteners is restricted in some applications. However, cadmium coating is utilized in military-grade fasteners for approved applications where other coatings cannot easily replicate its unique properties.Advanced Benefits of Military Spec Fasteners
Military-spec fasteners offer several high-performance benefits for critical applications. Advantages of military spec fasteners include:- Quality: Military Spec fasteners are manufactured to the highest standards, using only the best materials and manufacturing processes. This results in consistent fasteners of the highest quality, ensuring they perform as expected and meet the demands of the most demanding applications.
- Durability: Military Spec fasteners are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of combat and other extreme environments. They are engineered to be exceptionally durable and corrosion-resistant, ensuring they remain functional and secure for extended periods.
- Precision: Military Spec fasteners are manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring performance consistency and accuracy. This level of precision makes them ideal for applications where reliability and consistency are critical.
- Safety: Military Spec fasteners are subject to rigorous testing and inspection procedures to meet strict safety standards. Military-grade fasteners are less likely to fail, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
