Metric Socket Head Cap Screws
Socket Head Cap Screws are the fastener of choice in applications requiring high precision, strength, and limited space. Because their alloy composition and heat treatment provides exceptionally high tensile and yield strength, a given size may be comparable in strength to the next larger diameter of a common, low-carbon steel screw. This has the unique advantage of requiring fewer screws in a particular design to achieve specific clamp loads. The reduction in the number of screws translates to lighter assemblies and overall cost savings. Given these advantages, it is easy to understand the appeal of this versatile, ubiquitous fastener.
Metric Socket Head Cap Screws with Size, Material, & Plating Options
Are you looking for a supplier for metric socket head cap screws? At Empire, we distribute metric socket head cap screws with various sizing, material, and plating options.

Our inventory of premium metric socket head cap screws includes material and grade options, including A2 Stainless Steel, Grade 8.8, Grade 10.9, and Grade 12.9. Each material and grade offers unique strength and corrosion resistance characteristics:- A2 Stainless Steel: A2 Stainless Steel features good strength and high corrosion resistance for harsh applications.
- Grade 8.8 Steel: Grade 8.8 steel is heat-treated medium carbon structural steel for heavy-duty applications.
- Grade 10.9 Steel: Grade 10.9 Steel is heat-treated and features higher tensile strength than 8.8 for heavy-duty structural applications.
- Grade 12.9 Steel: Like the other grades, 12.9 Steel is heat-treated and features 20-25% tensile strength increase over Grade 10.9, ideal for critical applications requiring extremely high durability and strength.
Coating Options for Metric Socket Head Cap Screws
Our inventory of socket head cap screws also includes multiple finish options to offer various levels of protection against corrosion. Finish options include:- Black Oxide: The black oxide finish creates a dark finished appearance while providing a layer of light protection against corrosion
- Zinc/Yellow: The yellow zinc coating increases corrosion resistance on high strength materials, acting as a sacrificial layer to protect the socket head cap screw in corrosive environments
- Zinc-Plate: Zinc Plate offers corrosion resistance for applications with exposure to potentially corrosive conditions
