Socket Cap Screws

Also known as an Allen screw or Allen bolt, or simply a cap screw. Socket Head Cap screws are a more modern alternative standard machine fastener to the standard hexagon headed bolt or setscrew, as found on much modern machinery. A hex key (otherwise known as an Allen key) is required to fit these fasteners.
Fastener Material Key
A2
A2 Stainless Steel - Also known as grade 304 or 18/8. A general purpose grade of stainless steel.
A4
A4 Stainless Steel - Also known as grade 316 or 18/8/3. A higher corrosion resistant, marine grade of stainless steel.
A4-80
A4-80 Stainless Steel - Identical corrosion resistance to A4-70 but with a higher tensile strength equivalent to that of 8.8 high tensile steel.
BO
Black Oxide Class 12+ High Tensile Steel - A high tensile non-stainless grade with a black oxide finish offering limited corrosion resistance.
BO-10.9
Black Oxide High Tensile Steel Class 10.9 - A high tensile non-stainless grade with a black oxide finish offering limited corrosion resistance.
BZP
Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) Steel - Non-stainless standard steel grade offering a basic level of corrosion resistance.
BZP-12.9
Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) Class 12 High Tensile Steel - A higher tensile non-stainless grade for screws and bolts, with a basic level of corrosion resistance.
BZP-8.8
Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) Class 8 High Tensile Steel - The general purpose high tensile grade for screws and bolts, with a basic level of corrosion resistance.
Duplex
Duplex Stainless Steel 1.4462 - A type of stainless steel which has greater corrosion resistance than A4 / 316 and a high tensile strength of minimum 700 N/mm2. Also known as 318LN.
Nylon
Plastic (Nylon Polyamide) - A tough lightweight plastic, strong at low temperatures, with excellent resistance to chemicals, and features favourable sliding friction behaviour.
ZnFlk-12.9
Organic Zinc Flake Coated Class 12 High Tensile Steel - A higher tensile non-stainless grade for screws and bolts. Coated with superior mechanically applied zinc with corrosion resistance lasting 480 hours in the salt spray test.
