| Steel screws, zinc/zinc-alloy coated | Defined friction coefficient, corrosion protection, ease of assembly, reduced |
tightening torque
Stainless steel or aluminum screws | Protection against galling, controlled friction behavior |
| Nuts | Matching friction values with bolts, prevents seizing |
| Thread-cutting screws | Reduced driving torque, protection of cutting edges, easier assembly |
| Thread-forming screws | Similar to cutting screws: friction reduction during forming process |
| Wood screws | Faster installation, less heat development, noise reduction |
| Washers | Friction compensation, protection against contact corrosion |
| Springs (e.g. disc springs) | Prevents noise (stick-slip), friction control in dynamic applications |
| Anchors (e.g. metal expansion anchors) environments | Improved sliding behavior during installation, corrosion protection in harsh |
| Pins / Dowel pins | Reduced press-in forces, wear and corrosion protection |
| Connectors / Pins | Electrically neutral dry film, protection against fretting corrosion |
| Sheet metal nuts / Quick fasteners | Simplified assembly, defined friction, corrosion protection |
| Ball joints / Articulated joints | Emergency running properties, wear reduction |
