Self-Tapping Screw Tip for White Metal
Self-Tapping Screw Tip for White Metal
(OP)
Greetings,
I've got a couple of old, relatively small castings of a material that I can't identify other than to categorize them as white metal--almost certainly a zinc alloy.
I'm planning to utilize self-tapping screws as I modify the castings for reassembly. My question is:
What is the ideal self-tapping screw tip configuration for this type of material? I've considered a Type BT (25), Type BF and a Type T (23), but would value inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Paul
