This SAE Recommended Practice covers the mechanical and quality requirements for steel tapping screws used in automotive and related industries. It does not apply to corrosion resistant (stainless) steel screws. It is intended to cover only tapping screws of the type and dimensions covered in SAE J478. Requirements for other types of tapping screws are not covered in this recommended practice. The primary objective of the specification is to insure that screws form or cut mating threads in materials of construction into which they are normally driven, without deforming their own thread and without breaking during assembly or service.
