Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the standard thread pitch for M10 screws?
The standard coarse pitch is 1.5 mm. Fine threads (1.25 mm or 1.0 mm) exist for specific applications.
How do Hex Cap Bolts differ from Socket Cap Screws?
Socket caps use an internal hex/Allen drive and cylindrical head (DIN 912). Hex cap bolts have an external hex head (DIN 933 full thread / DIN 931 partial) for wrench/socket tools and are common in structural assemblies.
What’s the torque spec for M10 socket screws?
Depends on material and finish. Refer to the Metric Socket Screw Torque Chart for accurate values.
Do black oxide screws resist corrosion?
Black oxide provides a mild protective layer and uniform dark appearance. For wet or outdoor environments, choose stainless (A2/A4).
