Self Tapping Screws
Self-tapping screws provide a useful and versatile range of fastenings. They are usually made from mild steel and, after the thread has been rolled, they are case-hardened to produce a hard surface at the thread with a tough core. Nickel or cadmium plating is the most common finish, but zinc, brass, copper and chromium platings are also used and plain steel and stainless steel screws are available.
There are two basic kinds of self-tapping screw: thread-forming and thread-cutting. Thread-forming Designed for use in materials which are softer than the screw material, this type forms or squeezes the material into which it is inserted to produce the internal thread. Thread-cutting As the name implies, this type cuts a thread in the material into which it is inserted. It can be identified by a flute which runs a short way back from the point along the side of the thread.

DetailsHow can you reduce assembly time and fastening costs while maintaining consistent quality across high-volume OEM production runs?
Chan Chin C.'s self-tapping screws eliminate pre-threading requirements and reduce assembly labor by up to 40% compared to traditional fastening methods. Our case-hardened construction ensures reliable performance across high-volume production, while our two screw types—thread-forming for soft materials and thread-cutting for harder substrates—provide flexibility for diverse OEM applications. With 30 years of manufacturing expertise and stable quality standards, we deliver the consistent fastening solutions your production lines demand. Request a sample batch and technical specifications to integrate our screws into your next production cycle.
Our product portfolio encompasses two fundamental self-tapping screw categories: thread-forming screws, which are specifically designed for softer materials and work by squeezing material into position to create internal threads, and thread-cutting screws, which actively cut threads into harder materials and feature distinctive flutes running from the point along the thread side. With over 30 years of manufacturing expertise and ISO certifications for environmental responsibility, Chan Chin C. provides industrial fasteners that combine stable quality, advanced specifications, and dedicated customer service. Contact our team today to discover how our self-tapping screw solutions can optimize your production efficiency and reduce assembly costs.
