Screws having selected heat treatment and hardening

A carbon steel screw has one or more portions which have been selectively hardened by selective heat treatment and quenching. In one embodiment, an upper portion (24) of the screw head (12) is selectively hardened to prevent or reduce damage when torque is applied using a driving tool. The screw tip...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A carbon steel screw has one or more portions which have been selectively hardened by selective heat treatment and quenching. In one embodiment, an upper portion (24) of the screw head (12) is selectively hardened to prevent or reduce damage when torque is applied using a driving tool. The screw tip (16) may be selectively hardened for more effective penetration into a substrate. Preferably, the selectively heated portions are selectively quenched to reduce or avoid distortion.
