Socket Cap Screws for High-Strength Assembly
These Kerr Lakeside socket head cap screws meet ASTM A574 and ANSI B 18.3 standards for critical fastening. The alloy steel body reaches Rockwell hardness 38-43 with a minimum tensile strength of 180000 psi. Each fastener uses a 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread and a hex drive for secure installation. The pack contains 100 pieces for production or maintenance use.
Black Oxide Finish and Material Properties
The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and a low-reflectivity surface. Alloy steel construction delivers the rated hardness and tensile strength without additional surface treatments. Right-hand thread orientation follows standard assembly practice. Partial thread length of 1.125 in. leaves an unthreaded shank for shear resistance in structural joints.
5/16-18 UNC Coarse Thread with 2.75 in. Length
The callout size defines fit: 5/16 in. nominal diameter, 18 threads per inch, 2.75 in. overall length. Thread length is fixed at 1.125 in., so verify grip range before ordering. Buyers needing a different thread pitch, longer thread engagement, or a full-thread fastener cannot use this part.

Questions about this item
How do I install a 5/16-18 x 2-3/4 in. socket head cap screw and what step is commonly missed?
Use a 5/16 in. hex key to drive the head; the step often missed is confirming the 1.125 in. thread length engages fully before the unthreaded shank bottoms out.
What maintenance or replacement will these alloy steel black oxide screws need later?
Inspect the black oxide finish for corrosion and check threads for galling; replace any screw showing rust, stripped hex drive, or elongated threads under the 180000 lbs/in. tensile rating.
What limit appears first when these screws are under sustained load?
The 180000 lbs/in. tensile strength is the first hard limit; sustained tension approaching this value risks permanent stretch or fracture of the alloy steel shank.
