Solution to the Stuck Stainless Steel Screws

Stainless steel screws are resistant to corrosion due to the oxide film formed on their surface, but this can also present some challenges. When dirt accumulates on the threads or the screws are over-tightened, the screws may become stuck. In the face of this situation, we can try the following solutions:

1. Apply lubricant: Before installing or removing stainless steel screws, applying some lubricant can reduce friction between the screws and prevent the occurrence of sticking.

2. Clean the surface of the screw: If there is rust or dirt on the screw threads, be sure to clean them in time. Cleaners and brushes can effectively remove impurities, while cleaning tapes can more carefully remove fine dirt.

3. Pre-loosen the screws: Before tightening the stainless steel screws, gently loosening the screws will help ensure that they can rotate smoothly after installation.

4. Control the amount of force: When installing stainless steel screws, pay special attention to the amount of force applied. Excessive force will cause the screws to be over-tightened, increasing the risk of sticking; insufficient force may cause the screws to loosen.

5. Replace the screws in time: If the stainless steel screws are severely worn or have exceeded their service life, they should be replaced in time to prevent accidents such as sticking.

By taking these steps, we can more effectively manage and maintain stainless steel screws, ensuring they perform at their best in a variety of applications.
