The carbon steel market in mid-May 2026 is less about dramatic price swings and more about structural shifts. We analyze the real forces behind raw material trends, from coke resilience to iron ore's supply-demand standoff, offering a grounded outlook for buyers and suppliers.

Fasto are excited to announce our new C5 self-drilling roofing screws for metal-to-metal roofing and cladding, which eliminate pre-drillation with a sharp drill point which penetrates steel wall. Each screw is made of durable EPDM bonded washer with a permanent, watertight seal that prevents leaks and corrosion. The C5 screws are made from hardened carbon steel reinforced with a galvanized coating that is resistant to rust and weathering. They are available in various lengths and colors and are suitable for safe long-term roofing.

Specified A2 stainless but still seeing rust? Discover why coastal salt destroys standard 304 screws and why switching to A4-316 is non-negotiable for marine projects.

Onshore wind farms are constantly exposed to salt and moisture, resulting in rapid failure of standard fastener. When zinc coating screws degrade, they lead to poor turbine safety and maintenance. We explain the phenomenon of galvanic corrosion in marine environments and why traditional coating is inadequate. We discuss good alternatives, such as hot-dip galvanizing and duplex that have years of protection. We show how a correct fastener specification, based on ISO 9001 standards, can avoid catastrophic failures and guarantee the lifetime of renewable energy. Find a proper solution for your future work.

As electric vehicle production speeds up securing battery packs is getting more complicated.There are problems with torque and safety. Regular fasteners do not work well when they get hot. That can cause power loss or safety issues. Here are the top five torque-related problems engineers have when building lithium-ion battery modules.

Since bimetal screw market has grown tremendously with the need for industrial and renewable resources, Fasto is now a global market thanks to its international quality, quality testing and manufacturing ability which provides quality and corrosion resistant screws. Fasto has globally-distributed network with in-house logistics and customization choices, demonstrating the high quality and availability of industry that is critical to the industry.

Recently, many people don't know how to use 304 stainless steel screws for a coastal deck, or do they need 316? This article give the answer.
