Are coach screws the same as lag screws?

A Coach Screw is a heavy duty screw which has a square or hexagonal head and an externally threaded cylindrical shaft that tapers to a point at the tip. They are also known as lag screws or lag bolts but should not be confused with coach bolts or carriage bolts.

Why are screws zinc plated?

Zinc is the ideal fastener plating material for the vast majority of outdoor and industrial applications. A layer of zinc adds good lubricity to the threads of a fastener. It also adds some surface hardness to the base metal and exhibits moderate heat resistance to temperatures less than 400° F.

How rust resistant are zinc plated screws?

How exactly does zinc protect screws from corrosion? Well, zinc can still corrode, but it corrodes at a significantly slower rate than other metals and alloys. When compared to steel, for example, zinc corrodes about 30 times more slowly. Therefore, zinc serves as a protective barrier for screws.
