Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014040995A1] The invention relates to a method for producing a self-tapping screw, in which a blank consisting of a steel that can be hardened in a martensitic manner is provided. A screw form having a screw shank and a screw thread arranged on the screw shank is manufactured from the blank, and the screw form is then hardened in a nitrogen-containing gas atmosphere at a temperature greater than 900°C. The invention further relates to a self-tapping screw.
