1. Technical Notes: Nails 2. Technical Notes: Rust
A nail is used to fasten the two and more materials together. It is made up of a metal rod or shank, pointed at one end and a formed head at the other end. A nail is usually made of steel, although it can be made of Aluminium, brass, or many other metals. The surface can be coated or plated to improve its corrosion resistance, gripping strength, or decorative appearance. The shank diameter and length refer to the shaft part of the nail, called the shank, which is driven into the surface. The head is, of course, the top portion struck to drive the nail into the material. The head, shank, and point may have several shapes based on the intended function of the nail.
Several types of small nails are sized by length and wire gauge. The wire gauge used for nails is a particular version of the steel wire gauge. The bigger the number, the thinner the nail.
Most nails have flat heads, smooth shanks, Diamond-shaped points designed for general use and make the nails easier to drive. Long diamond-shaped points help minimize splitting of the materials. Nails are designed to resist both pullout and shear, with shear strength determined mainly by the shank diameter and pullout strength affected by that and the shank's design.
The company is fully equipped with quality maintain and product producing equipment and currently producing 0.5-inch to 5-inch nail (06 Guage to 18 Guage) and that caters the need of the current market.
