Overview
A DIN 96 semi-circular head screw is a type of fastener that consists of a semi-circular head with a straight slot, a rod with an external thread, and a conical tip. It is used for fastening various structural elements to wood, chipboard, plywood, gypsum boards, thin sheet metal, etc. The screw can be used to fasten parts without preliminary drilling. The screw can be used with concrete, plasterboard and brick. To do this, pre-drill a hole and install a spacer dowel.
DIN 96 fastening group
Depending on the material of manufacture, DIN 96 screws are divided into groups:
- Stainless fasteners - screws made of stainless steel
- Brass fasteners - screws are made of brass
Materials for the manufacture of DIN 96 screws
DIN 96 screws are manufactured in the following materials:
- Steel, which can be optionally coated with zinc. Zinc protects against corrosion if the fasteners are to be used in aggressive environments
- Stainless steel grades A2 and A4. This steel grade allows the fasteners to be used at high temperature extremes and in aggressive and humid environments.
- Brass. Brass fasteners are used when the system is subjected to frequent dynamic, vibration and cyclic loads.
Areas of application for DIN 96 screws
The main purpose of the DIN 96 screw is to work with wooden products or drywall. This type of screw is widely used in furniture production, repair and construction.
