Thread-Forming Fastener

Mag-Form thread-forming fastener is for fastening diecast magnesium and other lowductility materials. As the fastener is driven, the high-degree flank angle compresses the mating material rather than roll-forming the material. This type of action creates strong mating threads while minimising debris generation and the potential for fracture of the application material. The formed mating threads also allow multiple removals and reinsertions. The fastener is available in sizes from M2.5 to M8 in a through-hardened alloy and low carbon steels. Targeted for automotive applications, the fastener is useful for steering wheels, instrument panels, and powertrain components.
