MS Fasteners
What are MS Fasteners?
Mild Steel (MS) Fasteners are widely used to securely join components in construction, fabrication, and industrial applications. Known for their strength, machinability, and cost-effectiveness, they are a reliable choice for both light-duty and heavy-duty requirements. Available as MS bolts, nuts, screws, washers, and threaded studs, these fasteners come in various grades, sizes, and finishes to suit different operating conditions.
At Asiad Steel Industries, we supply premium-quality Mild Steel fasteners manufactured in compliance with IS, ASTM, DIN, and other international standards, ensuring consistent performance, durability, and dimensional accuracy across applications.

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.
