Self-drilling screws and self-tapping screws are similar in function but have a fundamental difference in their design and application. Self-drilling screws, as the name suggests, have a built-in drill bit at the tip. This allows them to create their own pilot holes as they are driven into the material, eliminating the need for pre-drilling.
The drill bit at the tip of the self-drilling screw cuts through the material, creating a hole and simultaneously tapping the threads to facilitate the screw’s insertion. These screws are commonly used in applications where a single screw performs both drilling and tapping functions.
We specialize in manufacturing self-drilling screws for stainless steel and metal plate applications. These screws are usually manufactured as NSC550 screws and we can provide solutions to drive through 5mm stainless steel plate or 13mm metal plate as required.
We manage the production and quality inspection of all our self-drilling screw orders closely, and we can also accommodate customer quality requirements to meet your local regulatory needs.
To ensure the highest stable product quality, all our manufacturing facilities have extensive quality inspection systems and processes that we confirm and monitor for every shipment.

Choose based on the product’s intended use, application method, and customer requirements.
Commonly used types include SUS302, SUS304, SUS316, SUS410. A special type called NSSC550 is exclusive to Cheng Hao, which has high hardness, high corrosion resistance, and high acid resistance. Its rust prevention is 15 times better than existing materials for screws.
Low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel.
Refers to steel materials that, besides containing carbon, also have other alloying elements such as silicon, manganese, chromium, nickel, vanadium, molybdenum, etc.
Common material codes include 2011, 2024, 6061, 6082, 7075.
Brass (Yellow brass), Bronze.

We are a professional precision screw manufacturer operating directly. We also represent various fastener products from Taiwan, forming a comprehensive supply chain to ensure quality. We welcome your inquiries.
Our product range includes screws, bolts, nuts, precision small screws, SEMS screws, washers, rivets, CNC precision machining, metal stamped parts, and a variety of custom fasteners.
The delivery time largely depends on the quantity of the order. We have some standard specification products in stock, while custom products typically take between 30 to 75 days for delivery.
Yes, we can provide samples upon request. However, due to the vast array of screw specifications, we might not have the exact specifications you need in stock. In that case, we will send you products with similar specifications for your reference.
If you require a customized product, we will produce a small batch of samples for your approval after you place your order. Once you confirm the samples, we will proceed with mass production.
Customization is our forte. You can provide us with diagrams, design drawings, or a list of requirements, and our expert team will provide a quote based on your specifications.
Please provide the specifications and quantity of the screws you need. Specifications should include material, surface treatment, head type, driver type, thread type, point type, and dimensions (Metric, Imperial, US).
The MOQ varies depending on the material. As a professional screw manufacturer, our MOQ is 50,000 pieces for stainless steel and 100,000 pieces for carbon steel. This requirement, which may seem high to some customers, is designed to ensure product quality, cost-effectiveness, production efficiency, and shipping efficiency, and to pass on price benefits to customers. For special-purpose screws or orders with a high total quantity, we also support a lower MOQ, making cooperation very convenient.
Carbon steel screws will rust when exposed to moisture unless they are coated with an anti-rust coating or made of stainless steel. However, if the anti-rust coating is worn or chipped due to external factors, thereby reducing its anti-rust strength, rust may occur under the coating. Stainless steel screws are the most resistant to rust and corrosion. Although they are more expensive, their rust resistance is not easily reduced because the entire structure of the screw is stainless steel.
Our products are certified by ISO 9001, which is an international standard for quality management systems. This certification ensures that we adhere to best practices for producing high-quality products that meet our customers’ expectations and requirements.
Some of our products also have CE certification, which is a mark that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area. Please contact us for CE-certified products.
