QSLD-Approved

The Defense Supply Center of Philadelphia (DSCP) has a Qualified Suppliers List for Distributors (QSLD) for Class 2 Threaded Fasteners. Kanebridge has been QSLD-approved since 2006 and was just re-approved as of December 9, 2021 for a three-year period. We are recognized as meeting all necessary criteria, particularly regarding quality control, to sell specifed fasteners that are ultimately sold to DSCP.

DFARS-Compliant

DFARS-compliance pertains to any fasteners made from specialty steels such as stainless or high alloy steel like that of Grade-BD. In addition, Grade 5’s are DFARS-compliant if the Chromium content of the steel are 0.26% or greater.

All of Kanebridge’s stainless and alloy steel military fasteners are DFARS-compliant. Furthermore, our Grade 5 cap screws, MS90725 and MS90726, are manufactured from 4037M steel with Chromium content of 0.27%.

Certifications

All our military certifications include the applicable military part number. For Grade-BD Cap Screws, the applicable ASME part numbers are included.

These certifications are always kept on file, can be accessed through your FasNet™ account and are provided for free when you need it.

Grade-BD Screws

Our ASTM A354 Grade-BD Cap Screws are from medium carbon fine grain alloy steels that conform to the requirements of AISI alloy steels to provide high levels of strength and toughness. Specific steel grades are chosen to meet the alloy steel requirements as listed in ASTM A354 and to provide the required hardenability.

Per the latest ASTM B633 plating specification, all our manufacturers meet the latest standard that plated Grade-BD cap screws are baked for at least 8 hours at 190°C to 220°C and post-plating treatment is done within 4 hours of the electroplating operation to reduce the effects of hydrogen embrittlement.
