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.
