G316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel Phillips Flat Head Countersunk Machine Screws — M3, M4, M5, M6

These G316 marine-grade stainless steel Phillips flat-head countersunk machine screws are built for environments where corrosion resistance is critical. G316 stainless steel contains molybdenum (2–3%), which provides substantially better resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion compared to standard 304 stainless — making it the correct specification for marine, coastal, and saltwater applications. The 90-degree conical countersunk head sits flush with or below the surface when installed in a properly countersunk hole, providing a clean, snag-free finish that is especially important on boats, docks, and marine structures.

Available in four metric sizes — M3, M4, M5, and M6 — with multiple lengths per size and flexible pack quantities from 5 to 100 pieces. All sizes use ISO metric coarse pitch threads and require a pre-tapped hole, threaded insert, or nut. These are not self-tapping screws.

🔩 Compatibility: ISO metric coarse pitch — M3 (0.5mm) | M4 (0.7mm) | M5 (0.8mm) | M6 (1.0mm). Phillips drive: M3 = PH1 | M4/M5 = PH2 | M6 = PH3. Requires a pre-tapped hole or nut. Not self-tapping. Requires a countersunk hole for flush installation. Use anti-seize lubricant when threading into stainless steel.

✅ Key Features

  • 🐚G316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel — Superior Chloride Corrosion Resistance — Contains 2–3% molybdenum for significantly better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in salt water, salt air, and chloride-containing environments compared to standard 304 stainless. The correct specification for marine, coastal, and offshore applications.
  • 🔵Flush Installation — 90° Countersunk Head Profile — The conical flat head sits flush with or below the surface when installed in a countersunk hole. Ideal for boat hulls, deck panels, and marine hardware where protruding fasteners are a hazard.
  • ⚙️Phillips Drive — PH1, PH2, PH3 Compatible — Standard Phillips cross recess drive compatible with PH1 (M3), PH2 (M4/M5), and PH3 (M6) screwdrivers and power tool bits.
  • 📐Four Metric Sizes — M3 to M6 — Covers the most common metric machine screw sizes for marine hardware, structural panels, and equipment mounting. Multiple lengths available per size.
  • 📦Flexible Pack Quantities — 5 to 100 Pieces — Available in 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 100-piece packs (availability varies by size and length).
  • 🛡️ISO Metric Coarse Thread — Standard Compatibility — Compatible with standard metric nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes.

Pack Quantity Options 5 / 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 100 pcs (varies by size)
Head Angle 90° (ISO metric countersunk standard)
Self-Tapping No — requires pre-tapped hole or nut
Countersinking Required Yes — for flush installation
Corrosion Resistance Excellent — suitable for marine, coastal, and saltwater environments
Galling Risk Use anti-seize lubricant when threading into stainless steel
⚠️ Note: These are machine screws — they require a pre-tapped hole, threaded insert, or nut. Not self-tapping. For flush installation, the mating material must have a countersunk hole matching the 90° head angle. Stainless steel fasteners can gall (seize) when threaded into stainless steel — use an anti-seize lubricant on the threads before installation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is G316 marine-grade stainless steel?

G316 (AISI 316) is an austenitic stainless steel alloy containing 2–3% molybdenum, which significantly improves resistance to chloride corrosion, pitting, and crevice corrosion compared to standard 304 stainless steel. It is the preferred specification for marine, coastal, and saltwater environments.

What is the difference between G316 and 304 stainless steel?

G316 contains molybdenum (2–3%), providing significantly better resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion. In marine and coastal environments, 304 can develop rust spots and pitting relatively quickly when exposed to salt water or salt air. G316 is substantially more resistant and is the standard specification for marine-grade fasteners.

What Phillips screwdriver size do I need?

M3: PH1. M4 and M5: PH2. M6: PH3. Using the correct driver size reduces cam-out and head damage.

Are these screws self-tapping?

No. These are machine screws with ISO metric coarse thread. They require a pre-tapped hole, threaded insert, or nut.

Can stainless steel screws gall or seize?

Yes. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling when threaded into stainless steel. Use an anti-seize lubricant on the threads before installation; install at a slow, steady speed; avoid high-speed power tools for final tightening.

What is the thread pitch for each size?

ISO metric coarse pitch: M3 (0.5mm) | M4 (0.7mm) | M5 (0.8mm) | M6 (1.0mm). Compatible with standard metric nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes.
