Overview

A pan head bi-metal screw for fixing stainless and aluminium brackets to steel. The SCM435 alloy tip drills faster than SS410 in thick sections.

Coatings from zinc flake to ceramic give 500 to 3,000 hours salt spray resistance.

Applications

  • Facade brackets
  • Stainless trims
  • Rail and transport

Key features

  • Alloy tip for faster drilling
  • Choice of thread forms
  • Test reports with each lot

Buying guide

Applies to all bi-metal screws.

304 or 316 body

A2 (304) suits inland exterior use. A4 (316) contains 2–3 % molybdenum and resists chloride pitting, so specify it within about 5 km of the sea, near pools or in chemical plants.

Tip material

SS410/SS420 tips keep some corrosion resistance; SCM435 and C1022 tips drill faster in thick steel. The tip should break through before the stainless threads engage.

Isolate dissimilar metals

On aluminium solar rails and cladding use a stainless EPDM washer or a coated screw to reduce galvanic corrosion between the fastener and the profile.

Questions about this product

How thick a steel section can a bi-metal screw drill?

Depending on point size, from 0.75 mm sheet up to about 6 mm structural steel. For thicker purlins we recommend a #5 point carbon screw or pre-drilling.

Are bi-metal screws magnetic?

The 304/316 body is mostly non-magnetic, while the hardened tip is magnetic. That is a quick way to confirm a bi-metal screw on site.

Do you supply mill certificates?

Yes. Each lot ships with a material test certificate covering chemistry, hardness, case depth and salt spray results.
