One of the highest strength alloys available to industry

MP35N 12 point screws are known for their extraordinary strength and are the strongest screws we offer at Extreme Bolt. MP35N screws owe their extraordinary strength to a unique alloy combination of nickel, cobalt, chrome and molybdenum and have ultimate tensile strengths that range from 227 ksi to 294 ksi (with age hardening).

Beyond the strength of MP35N 12 point screws, they are also exhibit good corrosion resistance and can resist most mineral acids, hydrogen sulfide, seawater and salt spray environments.

MP35N screws are also resistant to high temperature oxidation and could operate in environments up to 800°F and still maintain much of its strength.

Applications where MP35N 12 point screws are often found are: aerospace, defense, marine, chemical processing, oil and gas and medical.

MP35N 12-Point Screw Features & Benefits

The driver of a MP35N 12-point screw uses two overlapped hexagon shapes, creating 12-points and a flanged underside. These are also referred to as ferry cap screws or 12 point flange screws. The advantages of this head style include:

  • Higher torque capability compared to a socket head cap screw
  • Lack of recess to trap fluid or debris.
  • As the heads are generally smaller than a hex, MP35N 12-point screws are often used situations where installation space is tight and saving weight is critical.

The overall disadvantage is the extra cost involved in forming the heads.

The Controversy of 6 vs. 12 point Bolts

There is much debate over which bolt is better. Some say that the more points a nut or bolt has – such as a 12-point bolt - the less chance you have to round it off. And that the additional contact points of a 12 point screw give you more surface to apply load. While the jury is out as to the accuracy of this, it’s the application that should dictate whether the benefits of a 12 point screw out weight the additional costs of making them. 

 


MP35N Chemistry, Specs and Heat Treatments

Heat Treating & Aging: MP35N is usually supplied in heat treated and cold drawn condition AMS 5844. In this state the MP35N can be worked into the desired fastener form and aged to the AMS 5845 specification. Once aged, the MP35N material could achieve it full strength potential. 

MP35N Specifications:  AMS 5844, AMS 5845, AMS7468, ASTM F562, NACE MR0175
