About Alloy Steel Set Screw, Black Oxide Finish, Hex
The alloy steel set screw with black oxide finish has a hex socket and half dog point, and meets American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME B18.3 and American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM F912 specifications. Alloy steel is often used in applications where strength is the primary consideration. The black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and lubricity. The hex socket drive has a hexagonal slot that requires an Allen key driver, also known as a hex key or Allen wrench. The half dog point has a flat, extended tip that is shorter than a dog point, can be used as an alternative to a dowel pin, and is suitable for permanent applications. It is commonly inserted into machined holes or grooves on a shaft to hold the shaft in position while still allowing it to rotate. Set screws hold objects in place by use of pressure at the point, and are often used in semi-permanent applications and where fine adjustment is needed. Set screws are available with a variety of point styles, which determine how the screw interacts with the object it is placed against. These threaded fasteners typically do not have an external head.
