Common nails are ubiquitous in framing, construction, and carpentry. They are a commonly used fastener, typically made of metal, usually iron or steel, and are shaped like an elongated cone with a flat cap at one end. They are inexpensive, easy to use, and fasten dissimilar materials together by hammering. Wanzhi Steel utilizes Q195/Q235 low-carbon steel wire rod in its cold-drawing process to produce a range of nails, including common nails, coil nails, duplex nails, screws, and roofing nails. Available in a variety of materials including stainless steel, galvanized steel, carbon steel, and alloys, the shank, cap diameter, length, and color can all be customized.

What is a common wire nail?

Common wire nails are usually made of metal (such as iron, steel, or stainless steel), with the characteristics of a wide head, smooth handle, and diamond-shaped tip. The length ranges from 1 to 6 inches, and the size ranges from 2d to 60d. They are often used to link building frames. According to different uses and shapes, common nails can be divided into many types, such as round head nails, flat head nails, flat head nails, square head nails, etc. According to the material and surface treatment, they are divided into galvanized common nails, polished common nails, and stainless steel common nails.

Common calibers, lengths, and combinations

Ⅱ. Common length specifications

• 16 mm: Shorter lengths are suitable for some shallow fixing work.
• 20 mm, 25 mm: Medium-length nails are suitable for most woodworking and construction projects, especially when a certain thickness of wood or material needs to be penetrated.
• 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm: Longer nails are suitable for occasions where thicker materials need to be penetrated or deeper fixing force is required.

 

Ⅲ. Common combination specifications

• 2.5 mm × 50 mm: Nails of this specification are very common in woodworking and construction projects and are suitable for fixing thicker wood or other materials.
• 2 mm × 40 mm: Suitable for some occasions where less penetration and fixing force are required.
• 1.2mm×16mm: usually used for fine woodworking.
• 2.5mm×30mm, 2.8mm×60mm: used for steel nails for flooring.

 

In addition, there are some common nails for special purposes, such as steel nails for cement, such as flat head cement steel nails and round cone cap cement steel nails, and their specifications are also different.

FAQs

1. Difference between concrete nails and common nails

First of all, what is the meaning of concrete nails? It is a nail made of hardened steel, especially used for masonry in the construction field. The main difference between the two is the material. Ordinary nails for wood are usually of soft, low-carbon, or “mild” steel (about 0.1% carbon, the rest iron, and perhaps a trace of silicon or manganese). Nails for concrete are harder, with 0.5–0.75% carbon.
