MS Fasteners
What are MS Fasteners?
Mild Steel (MS) Fasteners are essential components used to join, fix, or assemble parts in construction, mechanical, and industrial applications. Known for their strength, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, MS Fasteners are manufactured in different types such as bolts, nuts, washers, studs, and screws. They are available in multiple grades and finishes, making them suitable for structural, automotive, fabrication, and heavy engineering needs.
Asiad Steel Industries supplies a complete range of MS Fasteners manufactured in compliance with IS, ASTM, DIN, and other global standards, ensuring precision, durability, and consistent performance in every project.

Do you have questions?
MS Fasteners are available in plain (self-color), black oxide, zinc-plated, hot-dip galvanized (HDG), and painted finishes for corrosion protection.
Yes, but for outdoor and corrosive environments, zinc-plated or galvanized MS Fasteners are recommended for better protection.
Bolts require a nut to fasten and usually handle higher loads, while screws are self-fastening and often used in lighter assemblies.
Yes, MS Fasteners can be manufactured in custom sizes, threads, and coatings to meet specific project requirements.
