ASME B18.6.3 Slotted Hex Collar Self Tapping Screws

ASME B18.6.3 Slotted Hex Collar Self-Tapping Screws feature a hexagonal head, an integrated collar beneath the head, and a slotted drive. The hex head allows tightening with a wrench or socket, while the slot provides screwdriver access. The collar offers an enlarged bearing area beneath the head, making this design suitable for sheet metal fastening, brackets, and component assemblies where head support and secure tightening are required.

Our production process focuses on the dimensional accuracy of the hex head, collar, slot, and tapping thread. Cold heading forms the screw head and collar, while thread rolling produces the required thread profile. The slotted drive is machined to meet the specified dimensions. We also control material selection, heat treatment, and surface finish according to order requirements, with dimensional inspections to verify the finished screws.

Mechanical Property:

Slotted hex collar self-tapping screws are designed to withstand installation forces while maintaining the integrity of the hex head, collar, slotted drive, and tapping thread. The hex head allows tightening with a wrench, while the slot provides screwdriver access. The collar provides a bearing surface beneath the head, and the tapping thread must resist deformation as it forms a mating thread in the workpiece.

Carbon Steel SAE J933– ASME B18.6.3 Slotted Hex Collar Self Tapping Screws

For applicable carbon steel tapping screws, SAE J933 covers mechanical and quality requirements, including performance during installation. Torsional strength is important for preventing screw breakage as the tapping thread forms or cuts a mating thread. The required performance depends on the screw type and size.

Stainless Steel ISO3506-4– ASME B18.6.3 Slotted Hex Collar Self Tapping Screws

For stainless steel versions, mechanical performance depends on the selected stainless steel grade and the product requirements. Torsional strength and thread integrity are important for installation, while ASME B18.6.3 provides the applicable dimensional requirements for the specified screw design.
