6-32 x 1/4 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw is an internal-hex headless fastener supplied in Cone, Flat, Oval, and 1/2 Dog point styles. Cone point versions use a cone tip that can indent the mating shaft for strong axial holding in fixed settings, especially when a prepared dimple is part of the design.
Common application reviews include clean-looking equipment panels, small mechanisms, and production tooling. Slight magnetism can occur from cold working in 18-8 stainless, which is normal for this austenitic stainless family and should be considered where magnetic response matters.
18-8 stainless steel is an 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material referenced to ASTM F880, used for general atmosphere, moisture exposure, and clean appearance. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and supports exact-size sourcing for hard-to-find socket products.
