    1/4 Hard CRS v/s Heat treated CRS

    We have some parts that require 1/4 Hard CRS. We are currently developing these parts in China. Our Chinese vendor is asking us if he can use HEAT TREATED CRS that has the same hardness as of 1/4 HARD CRS. Is there any difference between these two? Thanks.

    Looking for rework source for waxed screws

    Hi plasgears, Thanks for your post. But, the problem is, we are just a supplier and don't have any capacity of doing rework in-house. We get the products manufactured in Asia and deliver to our customers in JIT basis. In this case, our customer is facing the problem during assembly.
