tornillo para metales


Explanation:
metal screw que se utiliza en superficies metálicas se llama así para hacer la diferencia con un tornillo para madera.
Una entrada en Proz lo indica

El diccionario de la industria francés del decoletaje indica lo que sigue (en inglés/francés):
Metal screw = vis à métaux = tornillo para metales
Machine screw/mounting screw = vis d'assemblage = tornillo de montaje/tornillo para maquinaria
tornillo para metales/tornillo para maquinaria se encuentran en el diccionario Mink alemán/español


--------------------------------------------------

el diccionario arriba es publicado por el centro técnico de la industria del decoletaje para los miembros que son fabricantes de tornillos, tuercas y otros y que seguramente venden en toda la Europa con el uso del Inglés.

agree  jmr620808: En este caso la diferencia radilla en que el "Tornillo para Metales" es standard. Los tornillos para Montaje / Maquina / Mecanicos son diferentes en estructura debido a las fuerzas que se requieren.
