Round head screws square without nuts DIN 603-brass M6x60mm

Brass is a copper-zinc alloy containing at least 50 per cent copper by mass and up to 45 per cent zinc. Other metals are added to impart specific properties to wrought and cast alloys. Brass is wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, easily formed both hot and cold, and can be polished. Wrought alloys are used in deep-drawn parts, screws, springs, tubes and instrument components, whilst cast alloys are used in valve bodies, plain bearings and precision engineering components.

The term plain indicates a completely untreated, merely oiled, smooth surface for all DIN and ISO screws such as wood screws, hexagon head screws, threaded rods, nuts and many types of washers.

Square head on screws: Prevents the screw from turning further in wood or in metal profiles designed for this purpose. Square nuts are used as insert nuts in injection-moulded parts or are inserted into housing profiles (extruded aluminium profiles) to provide a threaded surface for screwing other parts onto them.
