Iron Type 1A + Plate Tapping Screw Trivalent Chromate Black
This is a screw that can be directly tightened into a pre-drilled hole without internal threading by plastically forming the internal thread in the counterpart material. The tip of the screw is pointed, serving as a guide for positioning at the center of the pre-drilled hole and improving the screw's grip. Since it tightens while forming the internal thread through forming (plastic deformation), it is less likely to loosen compared to small screws. Usable counterpart materials include thin steel plates (0.4 to 1.2mm), hardboard, and wood. It is compliant with EU-RoHS standards.

Applications/Examples of results
Steel is widely used as a material for screws due to its easy availability, strength, and toughness. Based on carbon steel, which primarily consists of iron (Fe) and carbon (C), alloy steels that have undergone heat treatment or have additives such as chromium and molybdenum are used according to applications like shape, strength, and corrosion resistance. Trivalent chromate is a surface treatment that serves as an alternative to chromate plating, providing corrosion resistance equal to or greater than traditional chromate treatment without containing harmful hexavalent chromium. Additionally, it can control the decrease in corrosion resistance that occurs during heating, which is a drawback of chromate treatment. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of environmental measures globally, and many industries, including automotive and semiconductors, are considering alternatives to hexavalent chromium, with trivalent chromate being used as a substitute for chromate plating. On the other hand, compared to chromate treatment, managing the process parameters such as the stirring state of the plating material, immersion time, temperature, and pH can be challenging, which may lead to inconsistencies in appearance and color. Furthermore, in general chromate treatment, the color may change as corrosion begins.
