Important considerations

When using stainless steel bolts and nuts, it is important to prevent 'galling' or cold welding. This phenomenon can occur when tightening stainless steel connections. Recommended measures are:

• Use of lubricants: Apply suitable lubricants to the threads to reduce friction.
• Even tightening: Carefully and evenly tighten at a low speed to prevent excessive heat build-up.
• Keep threads clean: Ensure the threads are free from dirt and damage to guarantee smooth assembly.

With this hex socket cap screw, you choose a reliable and durable solution for all your fastening needs.
